Jordan, Aqaba to Sudan, Port Sudan
 

A Jordanian friend of mine is adamant that it is possible to travel between Aqaba and Port Sudan via boat.

Anybody travelled this way or familiar with the route?

thanks

anybody? I would like to know as well ;)

Me too!

I have still not had any info on whether there was a ferry. Its such a long way that I would imagine that only a cargo vessel would head that way.

My next plan was to cross from jordan, saudi, yemmen and then get a ferry into dijbouti, but Yemmen is relatively unsafe.

Was there ever an answer to this?

I know it was a long time ago but any information would be good. I'm in Ethiopia at the moment and would love to know if it is worth visiting Port Sudan. We are not on a Carnet so avoiding Egypt is preferable, and in Sudan we only have 96 hours to cross without a Carnet so don't want to waste our time going to Port Sudan if it isn't going to work for us. Having said that hopping over to Saudi Arabia is also a good option.

Thanks,

Stu.
