Today's battle field and holliday destination in one

This photo is perhaps technicly not the best but there is a huge a mount of history and today's global conflict in it, in front you see the the town of Taba wich is in egypt and afther the big white building wich is actually the hotel we stayed in better known as the Taba Hilton, was was victim to a horrible terror attck in 2004 killing a big number of people, directly right you see the Israelian border post directly followed by the town of Eilat in Israel and the town in the back is the Town of Aqaba in the kingdom of Jordan, wich was today hit by a terrorist rocket attack where actually a person was killed, and a bit to the right is already Saudi Arabia aqaba is about 5 miles from the saudi border in the added photo with the navy ship wich is taken in the same place is the prime photo

It was a great and wonderful holliday complete safe by a lot of strict security regulations,in a place you would not associate with holliday, but loved it and must especially thank the lovely Egyptian people for their warm and kind hospitallity, and what i like about it is that it comes from themself complete natural and not told by some manager

 

so from one point you can look in to four countries wich is quit unique in the world
