A fascinating trip to the Farasan islands.
It was Eid holidays again. Like the last holidays, we decided to go for a tour to some nearby place. And this time, we selected to make a trip to the Farasan Islands, located 56 km offshore from Jizan port. We fixed the date of the trip as 03-10-2014, which was a Friday. 5 people were in the group and we started the journey from our accommodations at Baish at morning 6.00 a.m, in our pickup car. The destination was the Jizan seaport. We need to reach there early to catch the first Ferry to the islands, which will start its journey at 7:30 a.m. When we reached the Jizan port office, it was a little crowded. Since it was a holiday, we can see lot of families in there, to catch the ferry. When the office opened, there was a rush & long queue, due to which we missed the 7:30 a.m ferry and got papers for the next ferry at 10 a.m. There is no fee for the ferry travel. It’s free! All you need is your identity card ( Iqama/National ID/Passport ) & vehicle registrat
