Uuuu… Cloudy morning. We are in Aqaba Bay… On the left Sinai Peninsula and Israeli town of Eljat, on the right – Kingdom of Jordan. People from the ship are very disappointed – they booked espensive full day excursiond to legendary Petra, but they were cancelled due to the snowfall. (!!!). I have been in Petra before – travelling overland by local bus… It is my third time in Aqaba. It did not changed much: the same palm – fringed avenues, the same small Arab shops. I went to the ruins of 5he catholic church frm 4th century, and then started to climb Prince Mohammed Ave up to the mosque easily visible from the ship. In the middle of the day the sun appeared. I hope there will be nice view from the top!
