Our roving retirement middle east trip finally took us to Israel via the land crossing from Jordan. I have waited for many years to come to Israel. I was so excited to finally be in Israel.
Israel in Reverse Part 1
Jordan – Sand and Stone
Our roving retirement tour of the middle east had to include Jordan because we absolutely wanted to see Petra and we weren’t disappointed.
Walk Like An Egyptian – Part 2
Emerging from our new digs in Aswan, Egypt, we turned the corner and began to connect with the ancient temples and tombs. We visited Abu Simbel, Karnak, Luxor, and the Valley of the Kings.
Our Egyptian Odyssey – Part 1
If you can get past the hawkers and the other tourists, Egypt will reward you with a wealth of antiquities and a story as old as recorded time.
Malta Hotels and History
We planned our visit to Malta as a rest week between Scotland and our tour of the Middle East. We wanted to catch up on work and get some downtime. But we arrived at our hotel after 9 pm and discovered that the place was a dump.
