Aqaba (Jordan) - Wink Travel Guide

Aqaba is Jordan's only port city. It is on the Gulf of Aqaba in the extreme south of the country.

Aqaba is Jordan's window on the Red Sea. Historically the same city as Eilat on the Israeli side of the border, plans for a shared international airport and other forms of cooperation have cooled down in the past few years during a period of political tension.

Aqaba has seen a lot of development. This has improved the infrastructure and facilities. Be prepared for road maps to be incorrect or out of date.
