Description
On the way form Luxor to Aswan we were stopped at this checkpoint and send back to the east side of the Nile. The police told us that foreigners are not allowed to use the desert road to Aswan on the west side of the Nile. We had to take the much slower and less comfort road on the east side of the Nile. Other Overlanders told me that they were allowed to take the desert road in the same day in the morning. We were there around 14h30. so if you want to give it try better to try in the morning. I think that don't want to have foreigners on the desert road after sunset.
