Aqaba, Jordan

To go to the sea as a Bedouin, is a strange thing. I am used to mountains, sand, more sand and even more sand. But water, that is something else.
I started to feelo the water with my toes, but soon I went further. I saw people swim and could not imagine how this would be. But curious as I am (Bedouins are very curious and like to try everthing new) I bought equipment, found a desolated part of beach........ and yes, two days later I could swim ! I invited my friends to the beach and after some time I walked into the water. I could feel the eyes of my friends in my back. They must have thought I was going to commit suicide. I just took a dive and SWAM.. as I had never done something else. My friends were stunned like if they had seen a camel flying
