We decided to take ferry across from Nuweiba, Egypt to Aqaba, Jordan because we couldn't risk getting an Israel stamp if we went overland from Taba, Egypt to Aqaba, Jordan via Eilat, Israel.
It's a lot more expensive and it takes a lot longer this way, but we had no choice.
The ferry ticket costs 80US$ and it dosn't have a fixed timetable, so it's likely to arrive in Aqaba in the evening and that's a bit annoying when you have to get to Petra on the same day.
Ticket Office. It's said that they only take US dollors and you can buy it on the morning of travel.
Goats everywhere. They eat ablsolutely anything but they have some special guts to digest it all.
We look more energized after 5 days of resting on the beach of Nuweiba.
We were locked up for 3 hours in this waiting room, and the boys found an empty bottle to play football.
The girls try it themselves.
Got held up in the kiosk while buying a bottle of water by these young men wanting to take photos of me and with me and so on..
I want to take photos of these guys with my camera as well, so i asked a guy to do that.
But he couldn't find the button on my dslr.
right there, yes that's right, press it, yes! lol
He was fine up to this point, but as there were too many men coming towards me to take photos, he, the shopkeeper kicked us out of there to protect his business.
Had been waiting for some time, and it was prayer time.
We hated waiting whatsoever, but the locals seemed to enjoy this. I guess it will happen in God's will, inshallah!
Well, you gotta stay positive．
Adam on the ferry.
His father was a palestinian so they were trying to get into Gaza, but the border had been closed for months and months.
Adam's family were living in Australia but came to visit the family here since the terrible conflicts happen in Gaza a while ago.
His mum, Julie who was an Austrailan-born Lebanese and a Muslim, was quite interesting person to talk to.
Inside the ferry. It's very comfortable and clean.
