Hi Peter,

We have just been quoted 12,500 EGP plus 10% tax plus 1.5% of value of contents to move from Cairo to El Gouna. Just as well my husband's company is paying for the shipment to the UK.
We have also been quoted peculiar amounts of duty to keep some electrical kitchen equipment in Egypt. eg $75 for toaster, $75 for Magimix food processor, $75 for Kitchen Aid food mixer. The toaster didn't even cost that.

How were you planning for the cats and dogs to travel? Sounds like the Orient Express!!!
