I was under the impression that the Jeddah Suakin ferry actually continues up to Aquba - ie Aquba - Jeddah - Suakin - Jeddah - Aquba. Because it calls at Jeddah this means you still need a transit visa for Saudi so it doesn't avoid that problem. Given that, it might be easier to drive down the excellent roads through Saudi to Jeddah. Not certain thought, just what I heard.
