The tricky bit is to get to Egypt without going through Lybia or Iraq which means taking a boat of some sort. Apparently there are still ferries from Turkey. However, I found an Italian cargo company (Grimaldi) that does host people on their cargo ships. We could take on in Salerno (Southern Italy) and get to Alexandria in few days. I took a cargo ship to get across the Caspian sea last May, and it was actually a very good experience.

I'm on the bike in South America at the moment (in Chile heading north) so it's difficult to give a good response. I'm back in dublin early February so let's exchange thoughts then
