Getting Around vs Getting In[edit]

A lot of the content for Getting In was more appropriate in the Getting Around section (i.e., taxis, buses, etc.) If anyone can suggest some interesting ways to get to Jeddah aside from flying in, please add it in. Is there a train from Riyadh? Can you boat over from Africa? (WT-en) Zainiqbal 14:06, 2 April 2009 (EDT)

Being a overland travel geek, I know there at least used to be services from Egypt by El Salam, but their website is blank - being Egypt this of course doesn't mean anything, but we should at least try to confirm it (maybe thorn tree can help). There should also be a service to Suakin run by combined freight/passenger service by Baaboud shipping - but again, those folks from the middle east could really benefit from learning a thing or two about information services. --(WT-en) Stefan (sertmann) Talk 14:18, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
No trains in Jeddah, although they're talking about building a whole bunch (north up to Medina and east to Riyadh). Ferry services to Egypt use ports further up north. (WT-en) Jpatokal 22:44, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
Lonely planet claims both ferries to Suez, Egypt & Suakin, Sudan are still running.
The links they point to are all dead, and if that info comes from LP Saudi Arabia (which is out of print), it dates to circa 2001... (WT-en) Jpatokal 23:13, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
I've added new info based on LP which I understand is up-to-date. Also looked into a few news sources about ferrys running so it should be correct. Website of the operator is however dead. --Jonte-- (talk) 17:52, 23 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to be linked just in the Wikidata airport entry, so not a big deal for us. Claimed to be a copyright violation, no apparent connection between uploader and source. –LPfi (talk) 10:24, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
