It was a great suggestion , but as you said the time does not permit such a trip.
unless you're going by Helicopter, cant be done
You need min 3 hrs from AMM to petra (and back
and the walk to the top of Jebel Haroun is 6 hours
you can go to Petra and back though easily and walk thru the canyon....

Shame, it's on my bucket list. I just don't think I need the helicopter.

How about Jordan and going to Petra and aron hakohen

unless you're going by Helicopter, cant be done

Thanks for the suggestions. After more time looking into this, it looks like we will spend the day in Qatar instead of Jordan.

Qatar has free visa, Jordan has an expensive visa. Petra is more expensive to buy a 1 day ticket than a 2 day ticket, and would be tight on timing.

The Corniche and the Souq are pretty interesting.

Looking to go on a zika-free beach vacation with beaches similar to the Maldives (white sand, blue water) but easier to get to and cheaper. Are the beaches in Bermuda, Bahamas at all similar?

Azores.
I see there are flights from London and other European cities, so is the best way to fly to London for e.g and then to the Azores? What is the weather like in November?

The Bahamas beaches are pretty nice, not like the Maldives though. Bermuda is on my bucket list, have not been there yet.
