Aqaba-Nuweiba Ferry Information.
Timetables. Ticket information.
Customs procedures at Aqaba Ferry Station.


Updated on 21 Jan 2009.


If you are in Sinai Egypt, you can choose to take the ferry to Aqaba from the port of Nuweiba.


Daily ferries are operated by
AB Maritime, Jordan.

Make sure you arrive to the port at least 2-3 hours prior to the departure, especially if you haven't purchased your ferry ticket beforehand.

Experienced travellers suggest to spend the night before in one of the hotels in Nuweiba.

By doing that you don't have to spend half a day at the Nuweiba ferry station, instead, you can relax on the beach and head to the terminal when you see the ferry arriving from Jordan.

Sometimes it just runs hours behind schedule!
