My Best Holiday Ever     Part Three

The day after we left Turkey, there was a serious earthquake at the opposite end of the country...we luckily did not feel anything.  Our hearts go out to all that were affected.
We left the Mediterranean Sea and reached the Suez Canal:

First view of the Suez Canal

Guards along the Suez Canal

We join the convoy

Fishing boat beneath us

We competed the journey overnight so missed most of the action

JORDAN
We spent a day exploring the seaport of "Aqaba:

More of my dear camels in the center of town

We only spent a short while in Jordan but would like to go back and see more...............we were sad not to get to see 'Petra', another ancient city, this time.  Unfortunately, there were too many important excursions back to back so we had to miss Petra to enjoy next day's trip to 'Luxor', Egypt.
So, my next post will be on Luxor..........hoping that 'blogger' will cooperate!!!!
