DAY 3 (March 25)
We opted to tour around Aqaba city for our last day trip. We found a much lesser rate with new-found friends. We were able to take time during the breakfast and started the city tour midday.
Anciently called as Ayla, Aqaba is the only coastal city in Jordan. It is situated in the southernmost part of the country with vibrant trade and tourism sectors. Not much hectic of a day, we visited the port museum, the shops and the Red Sea.
It was amazing how I came to realize the distance the Israelites covered from Egypt. I could imagine how they crossed the sea and managed to travel for four decades to reach the Promise Land. It was never easy but it was made possible.
This trip might be short but the experiences we had would surely take longer than our memories could carry. When I thought there were not much of sights to see in this country, Jordan has offered us heck-of-a-lifetime reflections and gratitude to our Almighty Father.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there Your hand will guide me. -Psalm 139

For some recommendations:
- Travel in groups. The more, the cheaper, the better!
- Ask friends who have gone to Jordan for cheaper rates and referrals.
- Summertime won’t be fun! It’s boiling hot there (so I’ve heard)
- Make the most of your travel. Try and learn! Life is short!
