I am a Canadian travelling to Cairo this August. I fly into Cairo and will work my way down the Nile to Abu Simbel. How then is my best way to go to Sharm El Sheikh (eventually carrying on to Israel)? Is it safe to take a ferry, say from Hurghada close to Luxor? Or do i have to head all the way back to Cairo and take a bus? I know they say it’s not that safe travelling through Northern Sinai so i figure cut over in the south??
