Day 8 - Arrival Aqaba

We managed to get 7 hours late on our crossing of the Suez Canal. Instead of scheduled arrival at Aqaba in Jordan at 07 am, we arrived at 2 pm. According to the plan, we were to sail from Aqaba on Saturday night, but now we stayed overnight and all Saturday's excursions were moved to Sunday. This meant that instead of six days at sea, we only have five and the speed was increased so that we could arrive in Oman at the scheduled time. 
In the morning, we sailed the Red Sea and into the Gulf of Aqaba with the Sinai Peninsula on the left side and Saudi Arabia on the right. At the bottom of the Gulf is Eilat in Israel located on the left bank and Aqaba in Jordan on the right. 
Enjoyed the afternoon sun with a Cafe Latte on our balcony with great views of Eilat. For dinner we got a salad for starter and Gordon Bleu for the main course.
