Fast ferry to Aqaba


Fast ferry to Aqaba
Originally uploaded by bastchild.

This was the fast ferry from Nuweiba, Egypt to Aqaba, Jordan. It costs $50 plus another $9 Egyptian departure tax not required at any other exit point. Fortunately it only takes 1.5 hours as opposed to the slow ferry which can take up to 10 hours.
On board, there were loads of bus tourists. There were only a few backpackers travelling through, but no one was headed to Wadi Rum; they were all headed to Petra.
