GOOD TO KNOW:

There is a border crossing between Jordan and Israel, eight kilometres north of Aqaba. Kringresenärer should, however, know that an Israeli stamp in their passport makes it impossible to enter in some arab countries (though not in such as Jordan and Egypt). Anyone who wants to avoid the stamp in the Passport can ask Customs officers stamping on a loose sheet of paper.

CHARTER means a charter week with Apollo from Arlanda on november 17 with all-inclusive accommodation at the Radisson Blu Tala Bay Resort, two persons in a double room with breakfast, from 13 996 kroner. Also the departure from Copenhagen.

We are sol holiday on charter city Aqaba, Jordan's southernmost town.

The situation is absolutely at the top of the Red Sea, in the Gulf where Jordan, Israel and Egypt meet.

We took a dagslång boat excursion to the island of Pharaoh's Iceland, situated on Egyptian territory, a 45-minute boat ride to the southwest of Aqaba. On our journey, we reach a stretch where we can see the four countries ' coasts: Israeli, Egyptian, Saudi and Jordanian.

Boat excursion turns out to be a perfect way to spend a relaxing holiday in this region.

First beser we the small gravelly island with its old fortress from the 12th century. It was originally built by the Crusaders, but was conquered and built out in 1170 by the great Muslim leader and warrior Saladin. From the Fort controlled the important trade link between Cairo and Damascus.

More than the Fort's stone skeleton is, however, not to country dance.

When we looked clearly govern our wheel a short distance out and anchoring next to two other excursion ship in the middle of the bright blue water.

Snorkelling equipment is provided and we, 30 century tourists exploring the depth. It is not just that we need to give ourselves away. No, everywhere, around us and below, dotted with sea of colorful firrar, one more neck-breaking kolorerad than the other.

Soon spread sweet scents from the ship's deck. The ocean sucks and now tempts our chef with nygrillad fish, bread, salad, chicken and köttfärsspett.

Aqaba is Jordan's only port city and expand strong inter alia through state tax breaks. In recent years, the luxurious hotel complexes is quickly growing up, and the idea is to make the city into a tourism concept in the style of the neighbouring city, Eilat, Israel.

The population has doubled in 10 years (now more than 130,000) but the city itself has not really been in turistsatsningen. It's still mostly as a slightly sleepy provincial town.

Do we just live self-indulgent bad life is perfect right in the plush Hotel Metropol installations and Hilton. And Aqaba works excellent as a base if you want to make sightseeing trips to attractions such as Petra.

But the city itself does not offer a lot of sightseeing or shopping.

There is a small small castle from the 16th century, a Turkish bath and souken offers the expected supply of water pipes, textiles, jewelry, and health products from the dead sea. Otherwise seems traders directed entirely to local people with kitchen utensils and clothes of the living nature and low-price model.

We went 12 miles South by taxi to country dance the famous bathing resort Aqaba Marine Park. This dominates the local population and the smoke from dozens of grills is dense. But the beach is no more than ordinary and stony, and the few who bathes make it with clothes on (only small boys going bare-chested). And public toilets here should be avoided at all costs.

The city's finest hotels, the best beaches and, of course, the real pool range.

For vattensportfantasten there is a wide range. The better hotels offer such as water skiing and windsurfing, but most of the region is the scuba diving and snorkelling. In Aqaba and its immediate vicinity are not less 23 official diving spots. Dive spectacular korellrev, old ship wrecks and a huge and colourful fiskliv.

Väninnorna Margaret Isaksson, 56, and Anne Smith, 58, believes the charter this week has been very successful:

-Friendly people and secure, good atmosphere. No hard sales reps and go in peace.

Excursions to Petra, the dead sea, and Pharaoh's Iceland felt the very if:

-Exciting and with such diverse experiences.

-Trade seems most geared to locals, but we bought some dead sea products. And it is funny that they dare to associate themselves with us tourists. We had good contact with the local women who were on a boat excursion.

"You will never truly know yourself or the strength of your relationships until both have been tested by adversity."

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

"A self that is only differentiated - not integrated - may attain great individual accomplishments, but risks being mired in self-centered egotism. By the same token, a person who self is based exclusively on integration will be well connected and secure, but lack autonomous individuality. Only when a person invests equal amounts of psychic energy in these two processes and avoids both selfishness and conformity is the self likely to relect complexity."

"Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is a nobler art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of nonessentials."

In an older residential

A woman in a senior housing was going to blow the rest of the accommodation, so one day she decided to go out naked in the corridor.
Two of the men who also lived there, had the vision of her. But because their vision began to become a bit bad, it becomes it on older people, so the uncertainty creeping andes.
-Who was it?
-Do not know.
-What was she on?
-No, I know, but whatever was necessary, it should be deleted.

The Swedes-scene in the London musical weekend

The biggest new-musicals are inspired by Fred Astaire, 113, and Gene Kelly, 100,-if they still lived.
Not so fresh, just. But it is new and exciting in-London's West End theater district.
"Top hat" is a stage version of a classic comedy from the 1930s with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. History is working yet and the film's best-known number, it is really maffigt. When the entire stage is filled by steppande dancers in high hat and tailcoat, cheering audience.
"Singin ' in the rain" is a fun 50 's film with a famous scene where Gene Kelly dances in the pouring rain. Häromåret played the musical at the Oscars in Stockholm and the required-balance was better. The only London has more of is the rain, too much water, as dancers like to skvätta over the audience. Buy tickets not closer than row seven.
"Loserville" "is a brand-new musical with pop music and young ensemble, and it is about nördens revenge. This is the year 1971, computer nerd invents e-mail and get the beautiful, intelligent girl. Fun scene solutions but feels like a cheap American youth film.
Moreover, the old success strong but exciting new musicals are at the entrance. Two starts to be played back in november and was officially opened in december.
"The Bodyguard," is based on a huge-movie success with Whitney Houston and-Kevin Costner. Contains:-monsterhiten "I will always love you" and a number of other Whitney songs. Work with the musical--began several years before the singer's death. Premiered december 6.
"Viva forever" was the Spice girlsmusical. It is not about the five pop-girls, but is based on the Group's songs. What can make this musical a boost are the two ladies behind the production. The screenplay is written by Jennifer Saunders, as television audiences know from "absolutely fabulous", and the musical is produced by Judy Craymer, who created the "Mamma mia". Prime is december 11.
In March, huge Broadway-succéen "Book of Mormon" London-Prime, and in april there will be a few weeks of guest of "Doktor Glas".
No, it is not a musical, but it may be worth noting yet--because it is Krister Henriksson's acclaimed monologue. "Wall anders Henriksson makes West End debut" as it says in the ad.
