Fixer Egypt/Sudan new road
 

Hi All,
currently, we are in Cairo, but will go down to Sudan soon.
Today, I have contacted a Fixer in Aswan who wants the following sums for his work:
* clearance for the car/road use: 1640 EL (i.e. 193€)
* US$50 for Sudan visa per person (i.e. US$200)
* US$50 per person for his services (i.e. US$200)
...
Does anybody have any experiences?
...
Do we really need a fixer for exiting Egypt and getting the Sudanese visa (we do have an invitation letter from the University of Khartoum)??
...
It would be great to get your suggestions and ideas.
All the best from Cairo,
Juliane, Mischa, Anouk and Sóley

Does anybody have the contact details of a fixer called Mazar?

You've been to the Sudan embassy and asked 'em right? They all speak English.

Sorry, cant help, but...
 

Hey,

sorry, cant help, but would love to know how you got to egypt with your car and how you got on entering sudan. I'm in turkey now and want to go to africa, but going via middle east seems way too difficult.

cheers,
