A much needed rest after the long journey from Luxor. This location is not as charming and busy as the famous Sharm El-Sheik to the south but has a direct ferry connection to Aqaba in Jordan. Located at the Northwestern coast of the Gulf of Aqaba, this body of water does not seem as big as on the map. The Gulf of Aqaba and Gulf of Suez to the west form like two fingers sticking out from the Red Sea.There are lots of new hotels and resorts being constructed. The water is gentle here, one can see the land of Saudi and Jordan across the water. We spent the night here and met some locals selling all sort of beautifully handcrafted necklaces and traditional jewelleries.
