Between Israel & Saudi Arabia: Jordan's only coastal city! 🇯🇴

Описание: Aqaba is the only place where Jordan meets the sea, a small stretch of coastline tucked between Israel, Saudi Arabia and the Red Sea. After leaving the desert landscapes of Wadi Rum, I spent a day discovering this unique port city with Mohammed, who grew up here and knows every corner by heart. In this episode, we wander through Aqaba Fort (the Mamluk Castle), explore the souk, visit the fish harbour, taste local dishes, stop by bakeries and spice shops, and learn how this narrow coastline bordering Israel, Saudi Arabia and Egypt has shaped travel and trade around the Red Sea for generations.

ABOUT ME:
In 2013, I started my solo travel journey, leaving Indonesia in 2016 to become a full-time traveller and YouTube creator. My background in International Relations has fueled a profound interest in exploring different countries. My content focuses on exploring different cultures through the lens of a solo female traveller, aiming to capture real-life interactions and experiences.

My travels kicked off with a five-month trip across Asia, after which I moved to China in January 2017 to work as an English teacher, my first time living abroad. I left China in 2018 to fully commit to creating videos on YouTube, where I share my travels and the cultures I encounter.

Living nomadically since 2016, I settled in England in early 2022 after marrying my British husband, David. Now based in the UK, I continue to travel and share my adventures on YouTube.
