Number Plates
The Con ?
When you arrive in Egypt they are supposed to give you 2 number plates (but they don't, they only give you 1) so when you get to Aswan & go to hand them in they ask for 2. So you either pay big time or as Mr Saleh says go to the Police and report it lost and get them to issue you with a report, but of course this all takes time and more money to hurry it along, remember it's likely your ferry will be pointing it's rusty nose south in the next day or so & they know it ! + you would like to be on the smelly drifter yourself ! I have heard that some enterprising Egyptian has set up shop in Aswan making false plates for the unsuspecting bikers, so when they do front at licensing with the 2 plates they the government bandits are usually quite miffed about it but obviously can't do Jack Shit about it !
I loved Egypt & all the games (altho probably lost most) its what travelling is all about.
