Enjoying the Red Sea for one last time before we head out to the deserts

Soon, we befriended some more tourists and then just made a whole evening out of it!!

I asked the owner of the parakeet – who was running a coffee stall – “How good is your karak chai?”

“Very good, sir”

“Let’s us try”

And just like that, we sat down to have yet another round of karak chai…

Not having anything better to do this evening, we just walked around the local markets in Aqaba…

… but it made for a great sunset.

First time we saw clouds in Jordan.

We drove to the southern most border of Jordan to see Saudi Arabia. After Jordan, Palestine, Israel and Egypt, this is the fifth country we got to see this trip, up, close and personal!

It was hot as heck (as in 100 degree F). We get out of the AC car. The sun hits us immediately. What do we do?

In India, we have hot tea at a street side stall.

In Jordan, we get Omar to make us some hot Turkish coffee!!

Getting a wee bit inspired to set up a traditional Arabic coffee making set up at home.
