I like to find out if anyone who are well expriance with traveling from Qatar to Egypt and planing to trave next month approximately between 12 - 18 of July 2016 please contac me 00974 55872313

My name is Amir Qatar

i kinda confuse , one more where do i get the paper work from - and am i allowed to rent acar from qatar to drive all way to egypt roundtrip thing - need advise , i will arrive qatar in may

I read this thread while researching the Triptic requirements for my drive from Doha to London. Now that I am back in London I think I can dispel some of the myths.

I drove from Doha through Saudi, Jordan, Syria, Turkey, Greece, Italy, Germany and Holland before taking a ferry to the UK. The car had a Qatari number plate. Saudi first, You do not need a Triptic, just a visa (Transit in my case) which is usually valid for 3 days. There is nowhere to buy a Triptic anywhere near the Jordan border.

Jordan, There is no need for a Triptic or advance visa. This can be bought at the border along with car insurance.

Syria, There is no need for a Triptic. I had a visa from the Syrian Embassy in Doha. Insurance can be bought at the border.

Turkey, There is no need for a Triptic. Visa can be bought at the border along with car insurance.

Greece, no Triptic requirement, Insurance can be bought at the border and covers the whole EU for one month.

Having entered the EU, there are no further visa, insurance or Triptic requirements.

Egypt has a Triptic requirement but is a nightmare to drive in. I would recommend leaving the car in Aqaba and taking the ferry to Nuweiba, where coaches operate to Cairo.

Hi leaders23

Impressive to read that you have done this journey twice, would it be possible for you to share your experience (short trip report) with us?

Thanks

tripticket, you can get it either from Doha or from KSA, just before you reach the borders, you should find alot of offices who can make it for you; i did mine twice, one time from Doha which cost me 600Qrs. and the last time i forget to do it from her, so i made it in ksa borders before i cross to jordan... it cost me 300 Qrs.

it is your choice.. but the most important thing is pls... DRIVE SAFELY.. no need for too much speed you wont be there quickly.

hi there

just join this group although not living in Qatar.

Anyway saw this post as i am also keen to drive to Egypt from Saudia. I am looking for same info so thought join you guys to keep all interested posted, my trip is not due until December.

I do have little bit of extra news that might be useful: Got the ferry schedule below:

Sunday, Wednesday, Friday from Duba-Hurghada at 17.30pm

Sunday, Wednesday, Friday from Hurghada-Duba at 03.00am

I will keep you posted if and when i get further info.

cheers

I am planning for a road trip to egypt next week, how did you find it,or you didn't go?

I want to know the schedule and prices of the ferry between Saudi arabia and Egypt.

Also where is this driving club in c ring road?

So i cant get triptic from egyption border????

This is too sad coz i dont know any Qatari man over here!!!

But is it the only way??????

Hi Friend

Hope u will have a safe trip to Egypt. Yes, u need to get a trip ticket book from Qatar riving club in c ring road with a Qatari sponsorship.

For ur car is still under installment, no problem to leave Qatar but don't ask the bank to give u a letter to leave Qatar with ur car.

Also, u must have a valid Qatari license and u must make car insurance in the Saudi border and it will cost u 75/00 Saudi riyals per trip.

u have two ways to reach Egypt.

1a- thru Deba to hurghada by a high speed fairy boat and the trip will last for 4 hours approx.

1b- Thru Deba to Safaga and it will take about 12hours and I don’t prefer it.

2- Thru Jordan from Al Aqaba to Sharm el Sheikh and the trip will take about 6 Hours by sea.

I hope that the above information is useful to u and it will help u to take the right direction.

Hi, look if you want to go to egypt by car you need to do triptek from here since your car has a qatari plate number. I went to lebanon twice, first I went without a triptek but it was a lot of headache especially at Syria borders, since I needed to pay twice on the borders. One when I entered and pass to lebanon and another time when I left lebanon coming back to Qatar through syria borders. I advise you to do a triptek but you need a qatari guy to sponsor you...Enjoy your trip :)

thanks Whatever-7 and Mohammed 1000

But Can i get this tripticket from the borders in Egypt or it is a must to get from Qatar???

If it was from Egyption borders then what is requisted for it????

You must have a tripticket, which is required by the Egyptian law.

You also must have a passing visa through saudi arabia.

And great amount of coffee to alert you while driving; and great patient on the borders.

Have a safe trip

thanks but i think i will not go to Jordan to go to Egypt

I think from Saudi to Red Sea To Egypt (((I Think))!!!

Does Any one know If it is the same like Jordan in Egypt (Safage)
