Well, Catherine's/Mount Sinai/Desert is a very easy day coach trip (if

that's how you want to do it). It was our introduction to the south Sinai

desert some 20 years ago now, and we've specifically returned to that

region numerous times since (inland, not the plastic coast resorts). If

you like desert scenery, it's beautiful. If you're going up from Aqaba to

Petra, strongly also recommend spending time in Wadi Rum en route (again,

if you like desert scenery). Thanks or the link - knowingly had to miss it

last night but intended to take a look.



Thanks- Wadi Rum is on the list we're pondering. The only further I've

got in the planning is to buy the one-way tickets from Tel Aviv to

Eilat.





Interesting tho' this extension is, it is still masquerading under the

title "European megalithic".

Wadi Rum: In 'our day' you could fix an overnight with the Jordanian Desert Patrol, with camel treks through the wadis.
Now, you probably have 5* hotels & 4WD - I don't know! :-))
