The Doum Palms of Aqaba - Jordan

In Eilat - Israel, near Evrona is a group of Doum Palms.

Some days ago we visited Eilat's Jordanian sister town Aqaba. In spite of the heat we walked through Aqaba leaving the pool of Hotel Kempinski behind. 

Accross the road from the Intercontinental Hotel some hundred meters to the north we saw the Doum Palms of Aqaba.

As usual we found out that borders don't stop the nature.

Aqaba is a city in booming development and we liked the way the Jordanians keep their heritage a lot.
