Hi, this is exactly what I was hoping for but unfortunatly about 6 weeks too early as I am in Turkey right now heading to Syria in a week or so and dont expect to be in Aswan untill about mid November.......Bugger

Anyone going from Aswan to Wadi Halfa end of Nov early Dec, I just met a German couple with Huuuuge 4WD camper van who will be taking a ferry, the more the merrýer or in this case cheaper. I won't post their email but they can be contacted through my email on this post. Regards Chris

hello

i (and probably one other) will be keen to join any travellers doing the aswan-wadi haifa ferry, but probably only in about 2 - 3 weeks from now (today being october 1st). if there is a truck going to khartoum thereafter, so much the better! if anyone is interested or has more information, please contact me at my email address.

thanks

Good news. The company which now runs the cargo ferry to Wadi Halfa and return have started towing the barge behind the passenger ferry. First one today (07/10/02). As such, the trip will take just over one day. Cost is approx 120EP for rider/passenger and 150EP for the bike. Seems the old 'charter the whole boat' has gone. Best to check with the booking guys. Can't remember who they are off hand, but most Lonely Planet type books and overland books will have it listed.
