Wildlife Authority to suspend Paraa ferry to improve its safety

Ferry services at the Paraa crossing of the Nile will be suspended in early May, to facilitate a complete overhaul of the two landing sites on the north and south banks.

The halt of operations will come into effect on the 02nd of May at 09.30 hrs in the morning when the last ferry will have taken visitors to the northern side of the park back to the southern river bank.

The anticipated halt of operations will then last for at about 10 days, during which the ferry itself will undergo major maintenance while the ramps on both sides of the river will also be upgraded to allow easier docking and improve safety.
