March 16, 2023. Aqaba, Jordan....the city that's on the Red Sea connecting Israel and Egypt all in one shot.
Aqaba has very special visitors today, newlywed princess and her husband. Royal airforce show was in their honor. Or ours honor!
We reciprocated with the visit to the most famous mosque in town and inadvertently,
I said something (“Ash-hadu alla ilaha illa-Allah wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasul-Allah.”)
what converted me to Islam! I always knew that my tongue is my worst enemy! :)
Who wants my wine cellar? 🍷 Feel free to send me your best bids! 🙂
March 17, 2023 Today was an easy day. We visited border with Saudi Arabia, so now I have three interesting borders under the belt,
Iran with Turkey 2012, Israel with Egypt in 1985, and Saudi Arabia with Jordan today.
The water was too cold for us Floridians, so only feet were wet. Egypt is behind me on the other side.
Two Hilton hotels on the horizon. Elat Hilton, Israel and Taba Hilton, Egypt. When we were in Taba in 1985, it was Taba Sonesta, Israel.
Storefront which made me think of you, Saidjon Muminov and lamb with kurduk in Samarkand when you were our guide!
