Ferries to Egypt - Horizons Unlimited

**mcluretaylor** · #1 10 Mar 2003

Any one know of good ferry routes into Egypt. I will be coming from the UK and don't want to do the Turkey Syria Jordan overland route given the Iraq situation, and I am not sure if I can get a visa for Libya which would be the other alternative.

Cheers
David

Hi David

At the moment there is no ferry from Cyprus or Greece to Egyt. Salamis has suspended its service. The ferry from Aqaba (Jordan) to Nuweiba (Egypt) is working.

hey rider
i think you can take a ferry from greece to cypris then to ilat in israel and then you ride cross the borders to egypt ,but you must check ferry lines in greece,and like that you cant get in syria or most of arab countries cause of your israeli,stamp on your passport.
i'm in egypt if you need any help or any other informations,
BY THE WAY TURKEY and syria is one of the good countries to ride,and i dont think it will be that hard even if the crazy war is on,you can just put a sign no for war ,u.s.a prisident is ------- and every one will be happy to see you in mid.east,haha i realy mean it
when you gonna start your trip??

Have you looked at the ferry that goes to/from Venice to Alexandria

Its half the price of the greece israel option and half the hasstle

I am currently researching going alex to EU as am in Israel and want to avoid the greece option

At the moment there is only one ferry going from europe to egypt. You can the Visemar ferry in Venice to Alexandria via Tartous. Trip is during 4 days. Check Car & truck ferry to Syria – Egypt – Italy | Visemar Line
