Very good guidance and advice for anyone thinking of travelling in the desert from people who know what the current situation is.

UPDATES on Roads and Safaris from Expert Guide Hany Amr (Desert Adventures Egypt)

Please share to all owners of 4x4 even if not interested in Safaris! Thanks.

SINAI:
Please take the time to read these details. It is essential that you are aware that all 4x4's are not allowed to go Sinai (on any tunnel or bridge or ferry) even if not doing Safaris.

All the roads to Sinai are open for travel, however the roads which pass by Nekhl is not allowed for tourists and expats.
If you are going to Nuweiba or Dahab it's safer to travel on the road which passes by St. Catherine

EXPATS:
Please be aware that expats and tourists are prohibited from leaving the asphalt without an official permit from the military and the police.

SIWA:
Siwa is still open for tourists and Egyptians.

BAHARIYA OASIS:
Since tourists and/or expats are not allowed to travel to Bahariya Oasis, and the police and the military are not giving permits from Cairo to Bahariya on both asphalt and the desert, they can only go to Bahariya through Dakhla and Kharga oases road.

FAYOUM:
Fayoum is open for Egyptians, tourists and expats to visit.

SAFARIS:
Please do not travel to the desert with less than three cars.

Make sure that you ask one of the professional leaders who has a travel agency before you go to the desert for the road and the destinations' safety.

EASTERN DESERT SAFARIS:
Some areas in the Eastern Desert are safe to travel to, which is a new destination that few people have explored, and it's considered to be a great place for bird watching and desert lovers.

WESTERN DESERT SAFARIS:
Please note that we have asked when the Western Desert will open but no one yet knows.

Happy Holidays

As Christmas gets closer and 2014 draws to an end, it's time to reflect on what we did and where we went during the last twelve months whilst preparing for what is to come in 2015.

This last year has been a little strange to say the least – a mixture of quiet yet busy at the same time. As tourists returned to Egypt in bigger numbers we increasingly spent a lot of time either on trips and adventures with them or planning and preparing activities for the future with our suppliers and partners.

The entire team at Unique Expeditions would like to wish all of our friends and followers, their families and loved ones and those that help us provide the fun and adventures for you very best wishes for the coming holiday season and especially for the New Year.

Stay in touch, keep watching our postings and checking our website, and in 12 months from now maybe your wishes and desires from the beginning of the year will have become wonderful memories by the end.

Some residents may have slightly 'different' opinions on this, but after a combined time period of almost 25 years in Egypt, the Unique Expeditions Team has to agree with what is written. Here's to the next 25....................

Where are the best places in the world to be an expat?
