Arriving by Sea:
Although Egypt has many ports situated both on the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea, the number of passengers arriving in Egypt by boats or ferries has greatly decreased because of cheap airfare and package holidays that use air travel. There is only one exception to this: the crossing by ferry from Aqaba, Jordan to Nuweiba in Sinai. The boats that used to sail directly from Greece or Cyprus to Egypt’s Mediterranean ports no longer exist.
Most means of entering Egypt by sea are no longer open, Ferries from Italy, Cyprus, and Greece are no longer working, there are several cruise lines operating in the Mediterranean and the Red Sea, which stop at various ports in Egypt and Jordan.
