grimaldi also wrote me that they won't take passengers to egypt.



Salamis from greece is an option. it is possible to get from israel to jordan. at the jordan border you can aslo ask them to stamp an extra paper. not your passport. as is possible in israel, hence the passport will be free of traces of israel. from jordan one can take the ferry to egypt. thats probably the best option at the moment. in comparision, a direct connection to egypt would be nicer.... we will find a way!

Grimaldi doesn't disembark passengers in Egypt but they do in Israël. You can ask at the jordan border not to stamp your passport but if they do it anyway.......
That's why most overlanders recommend an extra passport.

Way to Egypt
I have been following this thread with interest. I just want to ask, can you not travel trough Turkey over to Iran and over to Saudi Arabi and then a ferry over to Egypt or Sudan. Is this a to long way to go? otherwise I think its interesting countries to visit. Iran is safe and ok I think SA is also ok. I just want to hear opinion from you that have the experience.

Israel might be the only good option that is left. There is one guy who managed to get into Sudan even though he arrived in Egypt by the Israelian border crossing. I've sent him an email for some more information on how he managed to get into Sudan without a hassle.

As we're having the same problem we guess itz's possible from Greek-Zypern-Israel(Haifa) and hoping to make it to Egypt at the Taba border. We are travelling on a Motorbike, i heard some Guys had problems with their 4x4

My latest Informations are that it's actually not possible to enter Iran with your own car/motorbike! If you come as Backpacker no problem but not with your own vehicle...
