hi OB..... Not sure about the cost.... I last did it 4 years ago.... we tried to go without a convoy and got turned back, just after El Gouna!!! So... yes, a convoy is necessary. Why not just go on the coach? it's 60 le and you don't have the stress of driving around cairo!

Samia, I hope the sitation looks differently when you are a foreigner but residing in Egypt. I mean people travelling both ways, they should not have any problems (we intend to do the same if we move back).

I went with the Superjet three years ago the same way, it was okay, very cheap, the bus was on time but I remember the toilet being a nightmare (both ways!).

I've never done a coach but I'll look into it, thanks (though the toilet thing worries me!)

OB.... if you go with El Gouna buses on their first class, chances are you'll get a toilet..... skanky with no paper, but a toilet!! We just came back from Dahab on a 14 hour journey with no yoilet, but the bus did loads of stops!

søde tag bussen...Det er billigt og busserne er faktisk rigtig fine.. aircondition og mad!! jeg brugte ikke toilettet så ved ikke hvor slemt det er... det er en dejlig tur med film i bussen på ca. 5 timer.. husk at i skal købe billetten dagen før for at være sikker på at få en plads..
