Thank you Jeremy for the information, very helpful ! Me and my husband will visit Petra next week and your video helps a lot to give us an idea how long we will walk there. Kudos to you! 😊

Hi Jeremy! It's so good to "see" you again! We loved having you as our Cruise Director on the Grand South American cruise earlier this year! We are preparing for the Grand Africa cruise in a few months, and this video was very helpful to understand some of the logistics! Thanks! (Can we look forward to some more African ports featured in the near future?)

[@dockeddiscoveries]

Hi Catherine! Great to hear from you! I hope you're doing well, Grand Africa is such a great experience. Lot's of days at sea to rest up in between ports, which i think with the weather you'll have, will be welcomed for sure! I am working on some Africa videos as we speak actually- right now i am editing a Cape Town port preview. I have a few weeks now to work on materials- is there anything specific you'd like?

Helpful information -- thank you! Fyi, Aqaba is pronounced AA kuh bah.

are camels an option to ride in and out on?

[@dockeddiscoveries]

They used to be. They are trying to replace them more so with the electric vehicles, for a number of reasons. You do still see camel rides available, but more so in front of the treasury after the walk in, rather than going the whole way in!
