Aqaba

Aqaba is Jordan's only port city, located on the Gulf of Aqaba in the extreme south of the country and it Jordan's only window to the Red Sea. The Red Sea is known for it's fantastic diving and snorkeling.
We stayed here for 3 days to take a break from our busy sightseeing schedule, recharge and sit by the pool to read and soak up some sun.

 

 

Jordan has been a surprisingly enjoyable country to travel in! It's very clean and easy to get around. All of the people we have met from day one have been extremely friendly and hospitable and I've lost count of how many people have said to us "welcome to Jordan!". They have some incredible scenery here and a beautiful country full of fascinating things to see and experience.

 

 

Today we cross the overland border into Israel (it's about 10 minute drive from Aqaba into Israel's Red Sea city, Eliat). We fly to Tel Aviv at 14:30 and will be spending tomorrow in Tel Aviv before heading down to Jerusalem.
