there is no ferry line
hee
I think it is hard to find a ferry to egypt. I tried to find a ferry line between italy/greece and egypt but I found no one. And I talked to other people on other forum and they say there was a line 15 years ago, but that line stopped. So you have to drive from sicilie to tunis and then libie to egypt. but that is a long way of course. good luck!!
bye bye
ps. Sorry for my bad english.

Hi,
There is no ferry service between Italy and Egypt unless you do not use a Ro_ro service sailing from Italy, if not Tunisia, Lybia, Egypt
Hope it helps
Cheers

I searched for a ferry to Egypt and had no luck. The closest I found was a ferry from Greece to Haifa in Israel....although that does mean your passport has a stamp that can cause problems. I ended just riding it. Through Greece, Turkey, Syria, Jordan (Kings Highway...WOW!) and then into Egypt. If you have the time to do it I would recommend travelling overland to Egypt, it really is fantastic.

No ferries Europe-Egypt
Hi, I'm sorry to tell you that there are no ferries between Europe and the Middle East (even the Haifa ferry was suspended at the beginning of the century). You can though find RO-RO ships running between Italy and Ashdod (IL) or Alexandria (EG). Also, as it has been suggested, the overland route through TR, SY and JO is a great one. I would suggest you to enjoy it.

Europe-Egypt overland
Hey,
I am planning on doing an overland trip from Holland to Cairo taking the same route as you did. But how did you continue from Egypt on? Did you go back the same way, did you continue through Libya or did you manage to leave Egypt overseas? Are there actually possibilities to take your motorcycle or car out of Egypt overseas?
And how much time did you take get to Egypt? It really sounds like a GREAT trip but I really have no idea what to expect timewise...
Hope you can help me out on this one!

Following the idea suggested by Runner, do you have any rough idea how long the journey will be to cross Tunisia and lybia to reach Egypt ?
I don't have any idea how the roads are .....
May I say something like 2 days for Tunisia and 2 days for Lybia ?
cheers,

We just did one way overland and back by container/air
And somewhere else Luciano also gave us all the prices which I was meaning to go back and digest against overland costs.
We simply want to go to the Gilf, nothing in between. With L's info I am serously investigating the shipping from Italy option. He did not make it sound as bad as one would expect the words: 'egypt + port + vehicle import' to be.
What's the worse that can happen? You save a week on the road. Have a nice time in Italy or Egypt waiting for the clearance. It's worth calculating at least.
then again, Sam's news is promising too, but from Egypt, made need special filtering.

Haven't been checking any new threads regarding this topic, but just in order to update (a bit late, though) this topic I presume you all have been informed of the Venice - Lathakia - Alexandria - Venice ferry, correct?
