Oooooo there's a 471 Photo Slideshow!

In October 2008 Kel and I visited the Middle East. We started in Istanbul, Turkey, made our way from there to Cairo, Egypt, then flew south to Abu Simbel and Aswan, Egypt. We took a Nile Cruise from Aswan, north to Luxor, then flew back to Cairo for a few more days. We spent 1 day out in the El Fayoum Oasis area, then flew to Amman, Jordan. After a day sightseeing there, we traveled south to the ancient city of Petra. Our final day was a drive back north through the Wadi Araba and along the Dead Sea, back to Amman and our flight home. It was a whirlwind with a lot of moving around and very little sleep. We took over 4200 photos, of which I am putting about 450 here. We posted a lot more on our Flickr pages, but these here are the cream of the crop. As usual, Kel is hosting our Trip Diary on her site.
The Slideshow link above is a chronological slideshow.
