Hello there,

I'm new here and starting next week to ride from Berlin to Kathmandu. At the moment we are checking possibillites to avoid Pakistan. One is to ship the bikes from Dubai to India. Therefor I want to ask, if there are any news or new experiences? Thanks a lot for Informations!

Dhow from Dubai Creek to Mumbai
 
Loads of people used to do this years ago. I still see bikes being loaded on when I visit. Eminently doable but ask UAE bikers et al if they have any current info on rules and regs.

The bikes which are being loaded on dhows are just cargo. Second hand hondas seems to be popular.

Dhows from the creek Dubai, Sharsja, port rasheed and even UAQ will not take passengers.

There is a Michael Palin episode where he boards such a dhow from Dubai to Mumbai. But that is over. Dhows are not allowed any longer to take passengers.

You could try from Doha but I doubt you will succeed. Or you can send your bike as cargo and fly to Iran. Doubt it will work but strange things happen.

There is a weekly ferry from port rashid in Dubai to iran though.
Dont know if they will accept passengers but you can try.

Cheers
