A friend of mine is moving over in a couple of weeks time and is having his stuff freighted in to Cairo Airport.
He will need a pick up truck to take it down to El Gouna.
I know there are trucks for hire at the cargo warehouse, but I don't know if they would go that far.
Anyone know a reliable truck hire place?

How big a truck does he need ? A Jumpo or a regular half truck or Dababa as we call it ?
I have a reliable guy for the second option, he goes anywhere you want .

Asked him for more details- thanks. I have no idea how big a 'pick-up' is!

Oh - is a half-truck like one of those Chevrolet trucks that run round? 2 (or just about 3) seats in the front and open at the back?

I sent him a link to this picture - is this what you mean by a Dababa (or this size anyway!)
