     لَمْ أَرَ فَرْقًا شَاسِعًا بَيْنَ مِينَاءِ الْعَقَبَةِ الْأُرْدُنِّيِّ، وَمِينَاءِ نُوَيْبَعِ الْمِصْرِيّ.

     lam ʔara farqan šāsiʕan bayna mīnāʔi l-ʕaqabati l-ʔurdunniyyi, wa-mīnāʔi nuwaybaʕi l-miṣriyy.

     I did not see a huge difference between the Jordanian port of Aqaba and the Egyptian port of Nuweiba.
