Lindsay,
Have just spoken to a friend who brought her dog out from the UK and she used a professional kennel who deals with animal transit. She has suggested that you contact your local government office who should be able to put you in contact with a company who can help you organise the details. She says it is obviously more expensive but it was the only way they could do it within the time frame. She thinks there is a bit of fiddling involved but it would seem to be necessary. I am assuming you are tavelling with your dog. Apparently the other way to do it is to use a professional company to transport your dog on his own then they deal with everthing. Again, this is more expensive but it is a way round the system.
How is everything else going? When will you arrive in Hurghada? We are moving down on the 1st June so we are in the middle of packing up 2 lots of freight - one to the UK and one to El Gouna. Biggest laugh is that I am supposed to send everything back that we brought out including anything that is broken, or we have to pay the duty. This means that we are sending stuff back only to hand carry it out again like golf clubs, raquets and some electrical stuff. I hope we get away with keeping our clothes here but I suppose it depends on the mood the customs guys are in on the day!!!
Anyway, good luck I hope this helps.
Margaret
