Oh, Royal Jordan!

Aqaba, Jordan

I took a ‘private’ ferry from Nuweiba, Egypt to Aqaba, Jordan.  I was advised by several people that the public ferry crossing to Jordon can take up to ten hours!  Not entirely sure why the public ferry takes so much time…when a private ferry taking the same route only takes about 45min, it ıs beyond me!  Aqaba, Jordon is the ONLY port of entry, there are no entry or exit points by water other than vıa The Red Sea in Aqaba.  Jordan is 80% desert (as a result there is a water shortage, so if you vısıt, use the water sparrinly), the capital city ıs Amman (the original name was Philadelphiaıa).  Jordon shares borders with Syria, Iraq and a natural border with Israel…the natural border being the Dead Sea.  Jordon and Israel are the only two countries you can access the Dead Sea.  I spent seven days in Jordan, I vısıted Aqaba, Wadi Rum, Wadi Musa, The Dead Sea, Madaba and Amman.
