Most of us probably know Aqaba as the port city Lawrence and his Arab army attacked from the desert -- opening the port to supply Allenby's march on Jerusalem.

Prepare to be amazed. I hope you have a copy of Agatha Christie's Appointment with Death along...
ReplyDeleteSuggestion on Petra. Take the horse ride down to the entrance. There is a lot to explore there so save your energy for inside Petra.
ReplyDeleteI will give tou a preview. It was better than I had anticipated.
ReplyDeleteRuth -- I skipped the horses, but had plenty of energy to see the place. It was exactly what I thought it would be.
ReplyDeleteI have been there twice. enjoyed it both times.
ReplyDeleteI would love to return. For at least three days next time.
