How to book ferry tickets from Aqaba to Nuweiba with Haqqi Tours

We provide the ticket, explain check-in at Aqaba passenger port, Jordan and stay reachable during the crossing.

• Step 1 - complete the form: date, one-way or return, adults and children
• Step 2 - we message you in the WhatsApp chat with the sailings, vessels, seats or cabins and the cost

Timetable and season of the Aqaba to Nuweiba ferry

The Aqaba to Nuweiba ferry timetable is seasonal: high summer brings the fullest schedule and the earliest sell-outs; spring and autumn have fewer boats and better fares; winter runs a reduced service on many crossings. The crossing itself takes about 1 hour. Tell us the day and we send the sailings, and we flag the ones most exposed to a cancellation in bad weather.

Sea conditions matter on this route: strong winds can delay or cancel high-speed boats while the conventional ferries keep sailing. When the forecast is poor we tell you and, if you prefer, book the steadier vessel.

Departure: Aqaba passenger port, Jordan

Your crossing starts at Aqaba passenger port, Jordan. Large ports have several gates and the boarding gate is announced on the boards and on the ticket; we send the gate and the check-in time with your confirmation. Aqaba has no passenger train, and the airport has no rail link; taxis reach the centre in about 15 minutes, and intercity coaches to Amman take about four hours. A private car is the simplest choice with luggage, for a late flight, for the resorts along the south coast or for the long drive north on the Dead Sea Highway.

• Cafés, kiosks and waiting halls at Aqaba passenger port, Jordan; some fast boats board only minutes before sailing
• Haqqi Tours provides a private transfer from your accommodation in Aqaba to the port on request
• Ask us which gate or terminal your sailing uses - big ports have several
• Foot passengers: at the port 45-60 minutes before departure; vehicles 60-90 minutes

Arrival: Nuweiba port, Sinai, Egypt

You step off at Nuweiba port, Sinai, Egypt. Taxis and buses meet the boats. If you would rather not think about it, we book a driver to meet the ferry and take you to the door of your hotel.

Onward journeys from Nuweiba - another ferry, a flight or a train the same day - can be added to the booking; let us know and we time the crossing to fit.

How much does the ferry from Aqaba to Nuweiba cost?

The cost of the ferry from Aqaba to Nuweiba depends on the operator, the type of vessel, the date, whether you travel as a foot passenger or with a car, and the seat or cabin you choose. A conventional ferry is cheaper than a high-speed one; a summer Saturday costs more than a weekday in May; a car adds a vehicle fare; a cabin on an overnight sailing adds more. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price: we check the live fares for your exact date and send the real cost by WhatsApp, with the options side by side.

What we include in the price we send: the ticket for each passenger, the vehicle if you bring one, any reserved seat or cabin you asked for, port taxes, and our service - checking the timetable, booking, sending the e-ticket and answering questions before and during the crossing.
