Hurghada Travel Forum

Hello,

I'm coming to Hurghada in august this year, and Im interested to visit Petra in Jordan. So, what I wanted to know is there a ferry from Hurghada to Sharm el Sheikh, and what is the price? Then, from Sharm el sheikh i was thinking to take a bus to Aqaba or somewhere near, so if you know some web adress where i can get timetable an prices, please let me know. Then from Aqaba, i guess i could catch a taxi or also a bus to Petra. I would like to know how much money do I need for transportation? Any information about this would be appreciated a lot!!! or if you have some better idea how to get from Hurghada to Petra post it please!

Thanx a lot!!!

Bus to Sharm el Sheikh (or Nuweiba) will be cheaper, but much slower. I donīt think there is a bus Sharm el Sheikh to Aqaba, but a Ferry :
