Djerba by private car

Some friends went the other week.
Got stopped 12 times en route for their passports! Took them about 9 hours.

around 2000 LYD it would be. and lot of hassle. just fly:) and hamamet is better than djerba.

If you have a tame taxi man, he will sort if for you....take you to the border, his Tunisian buddy picks you at the border. Going back is the reverse. No bullshit with the beggars in uniform.

What do you mean "and hamamet is better than djerba"? They are completely different like chalk and cheese. One is a tourist resort town, the other is an island. It depends entirely on what you are looking for.

we're at the other end of the country and were toying with a trip into Egypt

has anyone done this ?

does the same "deposit" problem apply ?

TIA

Hi wysoki
No , you pay nothing for cross boundary , just stamp passport ,

tolgau , no fly to djerba , by car more easy and closer ,
from boundary to djerba 1 hr (90 KM ) to center of djerba

Hammamat more nice, and more expensive , far , and many corrupted check point police on the road which you have to pay them ,

so djerba much better ,cheapier ,closer if you coming back to Libya

Did you really cross the border by car on the blue plates and paid nothing?
Hard to believe it...
Anyway we are going (at least we try cause we still don't have our reentry visas).
