This review is about the ferry from Port Said (Egypt) to Iskenderum (Turkey). We have contacted some agents and fixers a few days before, and Sisa Shipping (Turkisch company) seemed very professional and we had heard good experiences from other travellers. They adviced us to contact Kadmar Shipping in Port Said. TICKETSWe booked directly at Sisa Shipping (contact Ms. Saba Ipek, a very friendly lady who speaks very good English.

Prices: 1. 30 USD for a Pullman seat (no cabin)2. USD for a motorcycle. USD for the car, over 2. Cabins possible, 2 person cabin @ 2. USD per person, 4 person cabin @ 2. USD per person. We were adviced to pay in cash (USD possible) at the office of Kadmar Shipping, after which we would receive the E- ticket. We never got that one, but when you give your passport to the crew on the boat they check your booking and everything is okay.

I don’t think you really need to book the seats, as one person can travel for free with the vehicle we’ve heard and there are plenty of seats on the boat and nobody checks who is sitting on them. To sleep, we’ve brought our matrasses and sleeping bags. I am typing this actually ON the ferry, although I had to take a dongle with internet with me; no internet on the boat normally)Dinner and breakfast included, and free tea and water unlimited. Take some extra food, as the boat delays often and no meals are served. You can leave your money ‘at home’ as you cannot buy anything on the boat. We had to wait for the boat because it was delayed; some fishing boat sank in the harbour, and thus the passengers didn’t have food on the ferry coming into Port Said for two additional nights! Be prepared…AGENTS/CUSTOMS CLEARANCE @ Egypt.

Here the horror starts. We went to Kadmar office: Tel.: +2 0. AT]kadmar[DOT]com‎ GPS: N3. E3. 2 1. 8. 6. 86 5th floor. The door to the elevator is locked, wait for someone to come down, open it for you or take the stairs to the 3rd floor, the door can be opened there.

Office open from 9am- 5pm. Ask for Rola, very friendly woman who speaks good English and really tried to do her best. We agreed on the following prices, and no extra costs besides these for the whole process: 1. USD customs clearance for the car. USD customs clearance per motorcycle (so 2.

USD for the two)5. USD agent fee (so 1. USD for the 3 of us)They claimed to be able to do this all in the day before the ferry leaves, but later they advised us to come a day earlier so we had 2 full days to clear customs. DAY 1. We arrived at the office, paid all the fees and the tickets in cash and got receipts for all of it. We’ve met Kareem, their ‘fixer’ who took us to the harbour/customs compound. Mobile: 0. 12. 26. He is very social with the police everywhere which speeds up the process, nice.

He is also very stressy and unorganised, speaks bad English and keeps on saying ‘no problem, no worry’. We got the vehicles to the customs compound and took the plates off. We drove to customs and had a nice chat, some guy there took the export slips off the carnets (they call the carnets ‘Triptek’ or something). No exit stamps on the carnets, but loads of paperwork in arabic. At the end of the day, we parked the vehicles in some storage yard with guards, and later asked Kadmar for the prices. LE per night for a car, 3. LE per night for a motorcycle.

A bit steep! Hotel De La Poste is close to the KADMAR office, and prices for the rooms range from 9. LE, all including aircon, showers and a fridge. DAY 2. Full day at the vehicles, waiting for Kareem.

We drove to customs once to write our name on a document, and some guys came over to check the VIN’s. The KADMAR- agent asked me to pay him 2. Watch Girlhouse Online Hulu. LE bribe. Then another bloke arrived, who wanted to check all the luggage of the car, a real hassle. Took very long, he even checked the amount of towels etc. DAY 3. Another guy of KADMAR took us to some office to get some stamps, and asked us to pay 1.

LE in bribes. We got some stamps, no idea for what. Again to customs, where Kareem started to scream at all officials and in the end, he left pissed off, screamed at us and threw our paperwork to another fixer. We called the main KADMAR office immediately to explain that this was unacceptable. Kareem came back soon, a bit cooled down.

No stamps on the carnets, we got adviced to leave the Carnets in Egypt. KADMAR told us it would take 4 days minimum to get the stamps; they would send it to Europe or give it to other travellers to take with them. Finally we got some stamps on the back of the slip; another trick of customs to delay you I think. NEVER LEAVE YOUR CARNET BEHIND! We explained it was unacceptable and that we would not board the ferry without our stamped carnets.

In the meantime, we contacted our Automobile clubs to ask about the consequences of not getting the stamps. Kadmar office, which has fast Wi. Fi, pw = 0. 12. 34. Summary: it doesn’t make things easier, but if you check in in your home country and get the last sheet of the carnet stamped there it is okay. Egypt cannot claim anything then. NEVER LEAVE YOUR CARNET BEHIND! The automobile clubs were very, very clear on this.

DAY 4. More shit, Kareem took us to the customs office and started arguing with the officials straight away, not productive! They didn’t want to stamp anything, so we drove around a bit. We went to the parking/storage, to pay.

They wanted 5. 00. LE all of a sudden, but I only took the agreed 3. They went down to 4.

LE, but stated the price was per day, not per night. I made a big fuss, showed them I didn’t have any extra money and they accepted. Luckily, we saw the ferry get into port and thus we knew we would get on the boat that day.

Again, some officials came to our vehicles to check the VIN’s. No idea why. I argued with KADMAR that I thought it was ridiculous that we had to pay bribes all the time, as they got 5. USD from us to arrange it all. After lengthy discussions they agreed and paid us back the 1.

LE. We drove through the customs compound to the boat, and they wanted us to board. We refused, as the carnets were not stamped. Kareem wanted to drive us to customs, but we simply couldn’t get through; trucks blocking the roads everywhere. We hopped on my bike, but the bike is not allowed to leave the terrain and thus Kareem left with an official to get the stamps in town. The official demanded more bribes from me (5. LE per carnet)but I refused and told Kareem to solve it. They left and came back with stamps on the Carnets, and after this we boarded the ferry.

Turkey, here we come! Watch Here Alone Vioz. In the end, KADMAR delivered as promised as we got on the ferry with all stamps and vehicles. I doubt whether they would serve other travellers, as they had a lot of shit to solve and I guess they had to pay more bribes than expected.

Their fixer Kareem should be trained properly, and we had to fight for our stuff all the time.
