Process getting into Egypt
Similarly looked at shipping from Athens to Egypt. Quote for shipping easy but trying to get a handle on clearance once landed was pretty much a total vacuum for relevant info. A couple of guesstimates (all NOT including this, or that or something else extra - like storage charges) made, for me at least, trying to budget an impossible exercise. The best guess was €800 plus for shipping, about similar for clearing the port, plates, Egyptian carnet (told me mine would not be accepted) - plus or minus another €1000 for undefined fees, taxes, charges.
Alternatively looked at air freight to Khartoum - air freight similar €800 mark but info vacuum for clearance process & charges. So for me the exercise was frustrating and way beyond what I was prepared to spend. I'm now heading via Morocco and West Africa. Guess I'll see what happens when/if I come back that way.
Sorry if this comes off as quite negative. I'm not the only one disappointed that this route/option is so difficult to plan.
