In Jordan

This is a top pick! ... he would keep the rest as baksheesh (a tip). I got angry, called him a bad man, called him a thief, said he gave Jordan a bad name. He laughed and walked away. I noticed him talking to the bus driver, a frankly somewhat frightening looking man, ...
Boiling on the coast
This is a top pick! When we finally made it to Aqaba on the coast, and our last stop in Jordan, we were tired, sandy, sweaty, and in desperate need of a shower. Aqaba was known as a diving/beach town, but it was more expensive then Egypt and all we wanted to do was ...
Under the Sea
We had decided the day before that we would head back down to Aqaba for some Jordanian hedonism. We had been in Aqaba before, but I was too sick to do anything. The point for this visit was to find a snorkeling tour. I'd never been snorkeling before ...

Back in Aquaba
Hi folks, have just returned from Wadi Rum of Lawrence of Arabia fame and before that Petra, the ancient Nabataeen city hewn out of sandstone rock. Both sites very different and very impressive, however also very touristy and expensive. In the meantime ...
First glance of the sea since Istanbul
In Aqaba, Jordan at the Red Sea. Got dropped off in somewhere downtown and walked around looking for hotels. Found one right near the water where I was able to get a single room without a view for a decent price. Went straight to sleep because of a lack ...
6. Tag von Petra nach Aqaba
... aber kaum eine Gelegenheit zum Anhalten. Vor Aqaba kommt man wieder durch einen Checkpoint - diesmal von der ASEZA (Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority). 2001 wurde in Aqaba eine "Freihandelszone" eingerichtet. Für Touristen besonders ...
Petra-fried
I am currently in Aqaba, Jordan, on the west coast of Jordan on the Red Sea. When I was still in Europe, my friend Nick agreed to come down to Egypt (he was with me two night in Cairo) and suggested that we go to Jordan afterward. I was ...

Ferry to Jordan!
... had to wait 30+ minutes for their food and then they said there was no more food to be served. The ferry arrived in Jordan around 8:30pm as suggested, but again we had to have paperwork and customs checks at the Jordanian side, so it was 11pm before we ...

Our Jordanian Interlude

Horay for Jordan
... found it easily and discovered that it is called the Bedouin Camp because Bedouins camp there. (the Bedouins are a tribe of Jordan). The original campers, they are semi nomadic people living in very dodgy looking tents throughout the ...
Roll Jordan Roll
... and next to the green trees it all looks quite nice. If anyone wants to visit a middle eastern country I would recomend visiting Jordan. Plus the food is really good here and very fresh! We are off to Istanbul now and then Greece. Take care ...
Aqaba
... there. What was a big deal was the fact that Cincinnati-style chili (think Skyline) is available in a port city in Jordan. I mean, that's just weird. However, as we travel around the world, things we don't expect keep showing up. ...
Coastal break
We're slowly making our way to the Israeli border, via a very early (and thus less sauna like) mini bus from Wadi Musa to Aqaba, Jordan's city on the Red Sea (And it shows as this city is very touristy!) We spent an exciting day of finding a cheap hotel ...
