Egypt's border crossings combine long desert highways with important regional transport routes, creating a very different experience from its busy cities. Distances can be considerable, so careful planning, fuel stops, and up to date travel information make overland journeys much easier.

Travel Tip

Most of Egypt's population lives along the Nile, while vast stretches of the country are open desert, so scenery can change dramatically during an overland journey. The Egyptian pound is the local currency, and carrying cash remains useful for everyday purchases outside larger commercial areas.
