Egypt without Carnet
Hi Manfred,
yes there are people who have entered without a carnet, the problem is that it all depends on the mood of the customs officials in charge. We entered Egypt about month ago and it took 4 days to get the vehicle in with the correct carnet, you don't really want to get stuck with this kind of paper work in Nuweiba. We had to put 200% down so we simply got 2 carnets, one for Egypt and one for the rest of the trip, so once we are out of Egypt we can send the completed one for Egypt back by courier and our money will be returned, the rest of the trip we will then do on the 2nd carnet. I believe this is the most logical way of doing it, I think.
