Aqaba, Jordan





Aqaba, Jordan is our last port of call before we arrive in Rome on April 19th. The ship is located in the northern most part of the Gulf Of Aqaba and we are able to view 4 different countries........Jordan, Isreal, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. (See map). It is our second visit so we were familiar with the town. We took the shuttle into town and walked around. We were given freshly made pita by a friendly merchant. We bought some bananas, as the ship is out of them, and of course visited many souvenier stores. Mike bought a t-shirt and it is always fun bargaining for the best deal. Back to the ship for lunch and we will depart at 9 pm. We will transit the Suez Canal tomorrow and then it will take 5 days to reach Rome and our flight home on the 20th of April.
