Hi Lyndsay - found this

Pets may enter Egypt provided you provide a certificate of origin and a health certificate. There are no forms for this, but a dated, signed letter is acceptable. The certificate of origin may be provided by the pet store where your pet was purchased or by a vet. The certificate of health must be provided by a vet.

I've got that sorted already through my vet, it has to be signed within 72 hours of travelling. The only transportation i have found for her is with BA cargo but its £1200 and my husband is going through the roof - 'for a dog!!' and it only gets her as far a Cairo

£1200 does sound like a lot. Have you tried with one of the other airlines? I know prices vary a lot.

I don't have a dog (any more, my ex-girlfriend took him) but I have been making the same reseach to get my beloved PC over there. I ended up going with an international removals company who seem to offer the best rate.

Hi I know someone had the same situation so they looked into driving all the way from the UK but you hit so many problems. The taxes are huge for trying to bring your car into Egypt and I believe if you are successful if takes about 6 months to get your car back from the authorities. Ok if it is an old banger and you dont care if you get it back or not but would that old banger make it all that way??
