Red Sea Cruise (Egypt and Jordan)

In and around Middle East

We were seeking not only sunshine but adventure this winter break, and so we decided to embark on a Red Sea cruise and tour ancient sites in both Egypt and Jordan. The experience was splendid and recommended. Here’s a taste of what we got up to!

We have only included a taste of our photos here. For the complete set, visit http://www.flickr.com/gp/90685571@N00/QE9206. For something really neat, click on the “Map” link from the Flickr page and you will see exactly where each photo was taken.

This trip sounded amaza-craza, definitely more worth your while than a run-o-the-mill beach resort (you can do that in Mexico). The photographs are beautiful, particularly the landscapes. Sounds like you guys had a great time!
