300-kms road out of control!

Kharga Oasis – Egyptian Sahara. From my al-Bejda hotel I see the nicest mosque I saw on this trip.
But I have the problem: I must go to Luxor. Policeman said yesterday that the 300-kms long new road is closed due to the security… No more datails – his English was very poor.
In the morning I went with my backpack to the bus station. Drivers said: you can go by this road only by private car – they call it “special service”. I said: Yes, I want to if there is no other way!
They made the calls to the different drivers. And…
They said: -Sorry, this road is closed also for private cars!
Can you imagine? 300-kms new road is out of control of the state!!!
Do the foreign tourists in Luxor know, that just west of this city Egyptian government cannot coltrol the situation on the paved road?
I am looking for the other solution to get to Luxor…
