en.Wedoany.com Reported - UAE's AD Ports Group has launched cruise services at three terminals in Sharm El Sheikh, Hurghada, and Safaga, Egypt, and has commenced a ferry service connecting Safaga Port with Neom to support the transportation of pilgrims between Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

In 2024, AD Ports Group signed a 15-year concession agreement with Egypt's Red Sea Ports Authority to manage, develop, and operate three cruise terminals and related ferry services along Egypt's Red Sea coast.

The Sharm El Sheikh Cruise Port recently welcomed the arrival of the "Aroya," which AD Ports Group described as the largest "mega cruise ship" ever to call directly at the coastal city. This call marks the first of multiple planned visits by the "Aroya" in 2026. AD Ports Group stated that this further solidifies the status of Sharm El Sheikh, Hurghada, and Safaga as regular destinations on regional and international cruise itineraries.

In addition to operating major cruise terminals in the UAE, AD Ports Group also manages and operates the Aqaba Cruise Terminal in Jordan through a partnership with the Aqaba Development Corporation.
