Enroute to Aqaba, we stopped in Wadi Rum and did a 2 hour desert tour on the back of a 4x4. The kids had a great time bumping around in the back, and we adults also enjoyed the awesome views too...
Our driver drew Dallas a camel
We spent 2 nights in Aqaba basically just blobbing and sorting out our Egyptian Visa's. In true Middle Eastern style the man at the embassy said it would take no longer than 1 hour... that interprets to at least 2.5hrs of just sitting around and waiting whilst trying to entertain 2 tired, hot children which isn't much fun.
Aqaba is hot... bloody hot!! When we arrived at midday it was stiffling, I don't know the tempreture but I'm sure it was in the high 40's. When we went out for dinner on our first night it was 39 degrees at 8.30pm!!! The best thing about Aqaba is that it is a tax free zone, after paying way too much for beers, it was nice to finally buy some cheap ones (and boy did we take advantage!).
hey there you guys are i was wondering where you were!!!
