Thanks very much for your help. We've done a few xONEx trips, but realize there is a lot we don't know.

Quite a few of us have purchased xonex's starting from Cairo over the years. As easy, if not easier, than purchasing from South Africa. Do a search on this forum and you will get a lot of threads. Most are from several years ago when Egypt as a starting point was much cheaper than it is now although several people reported purchases from over the last few years. Here is a recent one from this year:
