In August there was a ferry going Suakin-Jeddah-Egypt/Jordan (can’t remember if it was Egypt or Jordan, sorry) but you still need the Saudi visa to join the ferry so it doesn’t make much difference.
I found driving to Wadi Halfa (along the Nile) pretty fun, except that I did it in summertime and it was hot! The route is a nice “goodbye” to the lovely Sudanese people and it is good to relax on the ferry before you spend some days (normally five!) to get your papers and numberplates sorted out in Aswan.
Good luck!
