Just got up. The internet was working all right. Managed to get up to date.

Travelled from Dubai to Aqaba. Uneventful day. The hotel rooms and service are mediocre, prices are high, but the location is beautiful. The Intercontinental Hotel is situated by the Red Sea and is a resort with spectacular views of the sea, mountains and the city.

The next two days turned out to be very exciting. Aqaba borders on Isreal. This part of the world is the land of Moses and Jesus, of the Greeks and the Romans and of Lawrence of Arabia and Indiana Jones.
