I'm Egyptian. One of my absolutely favorite parts of Egypt is Nuweba (North of Dahab, South of Taba) in the Sinai.
You stand in the Gulf of Aqaba and just a few hundred meters in front of you is the coast of Saudi Arabia. To the Northeast, you can have a glimpse at the port cities of Eilat in Israel and Aqaba in Jordan.
I've never been in a place with so many countries right next to each other. The profound thing, like the author mentions, is that there's absolutely nothing in that nature dictating or talking about any borders.
From that perspective, all those lands look pretty much the same: gorgeous.
- ronnier 16y agoI've been in the same situation, but a different perspective. In Eilat, viewing Jordan and Saudi Arabia.

Little known fact: Israelis can enter the Sinai with just personal id and no visa. Same goes for Egyptians in specific parts of Israel. Not enough people cross over, due to the "borders" that we put up.
