FARASAN ISLAND | How to Reach & book the ticket| Inside Saudi | Island Life| Jizan to Farasan|4KHD

The only way to get to the Farasan Islands is by the FREE public ferry from Jizan departing twice a day.
The ferry leaves Jizan at 7 AM and 15.30. But you should be at the terminal around 6 AM (14.30) for the registration and security check, the security check is similar to the ones at airports.visa holders just need their iqama. Visiting visa holders will be needed their passport
They will also check your passport and compare it to the name on your ticket. The passport is needed for the registration too. we are supposed to be on the port office a day before to get the tickets. Tickets can be purchased online too.
The ferry leaves the Farasan island back to Jizan at the same time. If you know when you’ll return from the islands, you can get both of your tickets at the same time.
There are two ferries a day in each direction, and they leave each port at the same time. The ferry also takes cars for free, but you will have to be at the port a minimum 2 hours before departure to be sure to be granted space.The journey between Jizan and Farasan takes approximately one hour.
About 40 k.m(or a one-hour boat ride) from Jazan, you’ll find the Farasan Islands. More than 80 islands make up the archipelago, but only three of them are home to year-round residents. The largest and most inhabited is Farasan Island: About 12,000 permanent residents live on this island, and many of them commute to Jazan for work. The island is known for its incredible biodiversity
The Saudi Wildlife Authority declared the Farasan Islands a protected area in 1996 - and boasts pristine coral reefs for epic scuba diving, a variety of fish and world-class birding for species including the white-eyed gull, the crab plover and the sooty falcon. On land, you may catch a sighting of the endangered Farasan gazelle.
The History of Farasan Island
Since the first millennium B.C., Jazan Province has been a draw for people from Arabia, Africa and Europe. The islands were once known as Portus Ferresanus, and a Latin inscription dating from 144 A.D. has been found on the island, indicating the existence of a Roman garrison.
What to See on Farasan Island
Baith Refai
Beit Al Refai, a beautiful home that belonged to a prosperous pearl merchant named Munawar Al Refai a hundred years ago, is also worth a visit for its traditional Farasani architecture: The house is built with coral stones and features intricate carvings on its gypsum walls.
The main entrance and facade of the house bear similar craftsmanship, and the windows are also decorative with triple arches. The interior design is just as impressive. The house itself, which is said to be seven meters tall, has doors, windows, and what resemble shelves with similar carvings, with Qur’anic texts carved over the main entrance.
Ottoman fort
A great attraction for history enthusiasts, Ottoman Castle, also called Qal’at al-Atrak, is situated in Farasan Island. Perched at an altitude of 10 metres above sea level and 50 kilometres from the Red Sea, you can enjoy the surrounding views from the castle. Ottoman Castle was used as a military base in the 20th century.
Where to stay
There are no dive centers on Farasan Island, so be prepared to carry your own snorkeling gear. While there are hotels on the island, such as the Farasan Coral Resort and the Farasan Hotel, many people choose to camp on the beach. (Again, be sure to bring your own equipment if you plan to camp.)

[@marcykaren]

I was able to book the same day. Unfortunately after we had boarded, including all of the vehicles, including my rental car, they decided to cancel the voyage due to wind. So be prepared in case your trip gets canceled or you get stuck on the island. Online booking is not possible.

[@A_Boy_With_Fire_Wings__]

#Clarissa_Ruth_Lozada__ no online booking only booking when you're there at 5 am early morning

[@StephCoCo]

There is no online booking Clarissa. There are ticket offices on the mainland and on Farasan where you can book and you get wait listed. There are two lines. Keep to the right lane for waitlisted and go about 90 minutes at least before it sails. I just did this. (It is February 2023 at time of m writing.) Even the hotels you have to wait til you get there. I went on Sunday- Wednesday during the week which is recommended because apparently on the weekend it is busy. Use your Google Translate. And they want passport and if you are taking a car, your rental agreement oh and the copy of your Saudi visa.

Hi , I enjoy watching your vlog...I have question. My arrival in jizan will be 8:20 am and i will take car by renting from airport...How is my assurance I can bring the car in Farazan on its second trip of the day? Do I have to booked my entry with car , a day before my schedule thru online???? How?..Please advise..Thanks

[@liferoadsbyrahma4345]

Thank you so much for your positive feedback. You can book the tickets at ticketing office near Jizan port . I would advice to book complete itinerary from Jizan ticket office before leaving to farzan. . Tell the ticketing agent that you would like to carry your car there . He will check the slot and let you know the soonest available slot. There are two types of tickets . Number 1 is confit ticket and 2 is waiting ticket . The differences lies in the words themselves. Confirmed means your car space is confirmed. Waiting tickets are subjected to space availability after boarding all confirmed cars. There are 2 timings , first in the morning at 7 am , for which you must be at terminal by 5.30 am and the second timing is 1 pm for which you must be at port by 11.30 If you miss your return ticket then you can book it from farzan office . You will find rent a car service at farzan port , if in case you couldn’t carry your car from Jizan , you can rent one from farzan . Thank you so much , I hope I could help you somehow Jizan port location فرع شركة الملاحية للأعمال البحرية MACNA 017 334 0227 goo.gl/maps/XyGQDhd49UWYziuw9

[@liferoadsbyrahma4345]

there is no mystery behind traveling to Farasan by ferry and it is indeed free. You can get your tickets from Jizan port one day before your travel, you will need you passport, iqama, driver license and istimara, for all passengers as well passport and iqama (or visa). Next day you need to arrive 2 hours prior boarding, it means at 5am because all cars will be searched. Passengers will go through passenger terminal and the driver will stay with the car until boarding time, so make sure everyone knows his/her reservation number. As well make sure you get your return ticket. You can come at the day of the travel and try to get to the ferry if they have spaces.
