From Spain to Ethiopia & from Ehtiopia to Ukraine!
Hi,
I´m planing to ship my bike to Ethiopia and from there make my way to Ukraine. There are 2 routes that are available either through Sudan & Egypt and then taking a ferry to Europe or through Dibouti, Yemen/Dubai or Iran and then further either through Armenia Georgia... or through Turkey... It´ll be somwehre between this Nov and March 2015
Now the questions are:
- Does anybody know any shipping company or airlines that could ship my bike to Ethiopia?
- Which way is better? Sudan Egypt or Djibouti? Better means in terms of the paperwork, road conditions (I´m not good at off road) and costs?
- I think I will need a carnet for Iran, Egypt and Djibouti. Is that right? Anyway to get to Dibouti without a carnet?
- Can I get the visa for Djibouti, Yemen and Oman in Ethiopia?
- Do I need an insurance for the bike for these countries and in this case can I get it in each respective country?
- Are there any safe ferries from Djibouti to Yemen/Oman/Iran?
- Any bike shops or bike friendly people/places in these countries?
- Any safety issues (apart from Yemen maybe and the fact of me being a woman)?
I would appreciate any info you might have. If anybody happenes to be around just give me a shout. I´m going to be staying in Ethiopia/Mekele for a few months.
Cheers,
Mahsa
