When we drove from Amman to Aqaba a few days ago, we took the center route (highway 35). Today, on our way back from Aqaba to Amman, we decided to take the western route (highway 65) along the shores of the Dead Sea. I think the eastern route (highway 15) may actually be the &ldquo;fastest&rdquo; way, but it didn&rsquo;t look very interesting, so we never took it.</p> https://www.jtalbot.com/blog/moses-and-mount-nebo/ Tue, 31 Jan 2023 13:30:00 -0700 https://www.jtalbot.com/blog/moses-and-mount-nebo/ <p>We flew on Egypt Air from Cairo to Amman this morning. The flight is just barely longer than an hour, but they still managed to do a full meal service. None of us were hungry, having already sat for a really good breakfast in the executive lounge at the Cairo Marriott earlier that morning. I can say without a doubt that the food options on our Egypt Air flights were definitely lower quality than all our other flights on the trip.</p>
