Sokhna (cairo),egypt Cruise Port

Ain Sokhna is warm-weathered and scenic port located on the Gulf of Suez’s western shore of the Red Sea. Port Sokhna is about 75 miles east of Cairo and is the major center of commerce on the Suez Canal’s southern entrance. It services the gulf’s oil and gas fields and exports petroleum from the many factories in the region. Other exports include: sugar, ceramics, and ammonia. In the last twenty years, archeologists discovered that the area once had an ancient Egyptian port and settlement and have been studying the materials and other findings ever since. Another great find lies nearby in the Eastern Desert. Saint Anthony’s is the world’s oldest functioning monastery and honors the saint credited with founding monasticism, or monkhood in general. The monastery is almost completely restored and isn’t far from the equally, wonderfully-restored monastery of Saint Paul. The town is full of great beaches, perfect for viewing the coral reef, dolphins, and various fish.

Next to a windmill farm, the Infinity Kitesurfing Center is a brilliantly sandy lagoon with beautiful water that acts as an ideal spot for kite-surfers of all ages.

3. Aqaba Port, Jordan

Aqaba is Jordan's only coastal city, seaport, most populous and largest city. It is located in southernmost Jordan and has a population of around 190,000. The ancient city was called Ayla. Port Aqaba is also the cruise port to Petra - an ancient city and a major archaeological site in the Jabal Al-Madbah mountain.

Port's strategic location at the northeastern end of the Red Sea (between Africa and Asia) and its proximity to copper mines made Aqaba (originally named Ayla) a regional hub for copper production and trade. Following the Islamic conquest (around 600 AD), Ayla was renamed to Aqaba. The location next to Petra and Wadi Rum (Valley of the Moon) made Aqaba Jordan's primary tourism hub. The city is administered by Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority, which turned it into a duty-free zone, low-tax city, and a major Red Sea cruise and travel destination
