Unofficial Ferry Ticket Touts at Nuweiba Terminal

At the Aqaba ferry terminal departing to Nuweiba, Egypt, unlicensed touts sell unofficial or duplicate fast-ferry tickets at a premium, sometimes for boats that are already fully booked or do not exist. Passengers pay and only discover the problem at the boarding gate. The slow ferry and fast catamaran routes are a common exit point for budget travelers continuing overland through Sinai.
