Delhi to Dahab (India to Egypt via Jordan)


We went to Delhi after two nights in Amritsar and frequent walks around the golden Temple. We flew from Delhi to Amman with one quick stop in Kuwait. When we arrived in Amman we were so tired we took a taxi to our hotel and then we went to bed. - the plane left Delhi at 5:00 am and we arrived at 11:30 am after eight hours on flights or at the Kuwait Airport.
Jordan was nice: Amman had good baklava; Aqaba had good snorkeling; Wadi Rum was pretty and Petra... Well, Petra was amazing! It had really nice hikes and really cute kitties!
We are now in Egypt, in Dahab (the kitties here are cute, but not as clean as in Petra.) Dahab is supposed to be a backpacker hang out but it's more of a scuba diver's place, where they are starting to build some resorts. Nooooo!

The hotel we stayed at had a restaurant where there was mother cat and her kitten who practically lived there. The kitten was growing up, sometimes she would not leave her mother's side and sometimes she would be far away but still within meowing distance.  We ate at 1 restaurant where we had 7 cats under our table fighting for the prime spot to catch any food that dropped.

  1. Hey there Mhari -- I hope you're compiling notes for your book, "The Cat Lover's Guide to the Middle East". You could rate countries with little cat figures instead of stars. So clearly Petra is a 5-cat country. Hee hee, Caley

  2. ...Oops, I mean Petra would be a 5-cat city. Sigh, it's clearly my bedtime. C.
