`Does anyone travel by boat anymore, im planning to go down the red sea from Suez. I want to get as far as India. I know that there are ferrys and other ships that go from suez to Jedda in Saudi Arabia and Port Sudan in Sudan. and that from there some travel on to Dubai and Karachi in Pakistan.
Has anyone out there travelled this way or does anyone know if there are many travelling this way. If so can you get boats straight from Egypt to India.Do you need visas for all stops on route or can you get access at the port, ie in Jedda. What are the prices to travel on these boats and how safe are they

    You need them for the gulf countries with certain exceptions
    (if you're a gulf national). You're unlikely to get one for
    Saudi - see a post further down for more information.
