Walking from Acaba Jordan to Eliat, Israel

Did you know that you can walk the border from Acaba, Jordan to Eliat, Israel? Upon the shores of Acaba, as the evening sun sets in the distance over the Israel shores right across the Red Sea, I stare into the light blue water turning to a darker blue, disappearing into the night. A warm gush of wind blows into the air as it is bowing softly across the sand that lightly trots against the shores. The beach is a bit rockier on the Acaba side, but the reefs are worth it. I only spent two days in Acaba, and the one day I went for a swim, the water was quite murky due to the occasional sand storms. Both Acaba in Jordan and Eliat in Israel, are two cities built into the middle of the dessert. The Israelis have certainly perfected the technology of creating green desserts, through their irrigation process.
