Egypt was the 34th country I visited on my round the world tour. When I planned my route to Egypt I wasn't really sure if I would be able to cross over the Sinai peninsula to get to mainland Africa. Some people said it was doable and some said impossible, but I took the risk anyway and succeeded. I was escorted by the police for the majority of the way until I passed the Suez Canal. And in between, I got to chill at the coast and spend some time with my mum.
Welcome to Egypt
I made it
🎵 Music 🎵
I can't believe I'm here
So I spent 10 hours at the border
It's true what they say
Egypt is one of the hardest border crossings in the world
The bureaucracy is shocking
It's just
The waiting time
The, they charge you all these fees
For who knows for what like
I don't, I have to calculate or see how much actually I end up paying but
They didn't want to accept my kane
They told me I have to go to Cairo on the bus which is 12 hour ride
To get some papers
And then
Come back for the bike
But likely
Maya and Maya's friend
Rescued me and
They sorted out for me
And
I was able to take Chillie out of the port today
I'm so happy, oh my god
Feels good to be
Free again
This is Africa, damn it
Go Chillie
Stop
Go through
Hello
How are you?
So that was the first
Police check
And apparently they are very regular on Sinai

Get back on the road

In a borrowed helmet
Because my one is still getting painted here
And look at the time

To ride here

This is the worst toilet I've ever been to
Thank you
Oh my goodness
And
I've crossed the tunnel as well
Actually wasn't that bad
I was
Majority of the time I was actually escorted by
Police
So they were just handing me over from town to town
And that wasn't a problem
That was actually quite cool
Same happened in the tunnel
I've asked few officers
If bikes are allowed
From now on in the tunnel
And he said yes
So yeah guys
Shouldn't be a problem for you
If you follow my footsteps
