New Aqaba Fast Ferry

This ferry is run by Meenagate Marine, who are the sole agent of AB Maritime between Nuweiba and Aqaba. The new boat is called Babel and is a high-speed catamaran built in 2010 that runs very smoothly and fast!

When they have a very big volume of passengers they also have the boat Princess, which runs on a slightly different timetable. Note that in the case of bad weather and rough sea conditions, changes can also occur.
