Shipping vehicles from the United States to Egypt has become increasingly popular due to strong demand for American-made cars, SUVs, pickup trucks, and commercial vehicles. One of the most efficient and cost-effective methods for transporting vehicles to Egypt is RORO (Roll-On/Roll-Off) shipping, especially through Alexandria Port, Egypt’s largest and busiest seaport. Whether you are importing a personal vehicle, dealership inventory, or heavy machinery, RORO shipping offers a simple, secure, and reliable solution.
