One would never think that in a country associated with drought (landmass consisting 92 percent out of desert) that the streets would become a highway for ducks. I was told that before I arrived here in Jordan there was a flood that cornered my colleagues in the apartment and their escape route included the classical move of tying drapes and hanging them off the balcony.
Aqaba is surrounded by desert mountains and when the floodgates open up rivers of rainwater carve their way down to the Red Sea. So far I have not had the opportunity to canoe to work but the pictures below show that it will be a better option than driving when the tide comes.
