Sudan \ Egypt ferry
 

Hi, does anyone know if we have to book for the ferry from wadi halfa to aswan in karthoum, or can we just pitch up at wadi halfa and jump on?

thanks

Wave,

There probably isn't a more covered topic on this site.

Thanks, sounds easy except its just taken me 23 min just to log into this site and its often not easy to get to a computer. anyway not to worry, we have met some other travellers who have given us the info we need.

Hey Wave, I hope you manage to breeze through the customs at Aswan as "easily" as you obtained your Sudanese visa. Eat some ful for us when you get to Wadi- and don't miss the new Italian restaurante/pizzeria near the 7-11! Safe travels. H.

Dude,

Small tip, when in Wadi, don't stay at the dirt bag "hotels" in town. You can camp on the other side of the lake, it's about 8 km back toward the road from Dongola, turn right at the construction camp and ride a couple more km until you see a turn to the right that goes about a hunderd meters right to the lake side. From there you can see the "lights" of Wadi and not have to deal with the bed bugs. The handler in town knows where it is as well and I'm sure it's on Tracks for Africa.

Cheers.
