Aqaba, Jordan: Strategic Gateway and Resort by the Red Sea
Aqaba, Jordan's only seaport city, is located on the southwestern tip of the country, adjacent to the Gulf of Aqaba on the Red Sea and across the sea from Israel, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. With Jordan's only coastal corridor, the city is both an important trade hub and an emerging tourist destination. Its warm climate, coral reefs and crystal clear waters attract divers and water sports enthusiasts, and the famous "Red Sea Shipwreck Dive Site" is a popular destination for diving worldwide.
With a history dating back to 4000 BC, Aqaba was an important stronghold for the Roman, Crusader and Islamic empires. Today, the city combines modern resort facilities with historical sites such as the Mamluk Castle and monuments to the Arab revolution. Tax exemptions have boosted commerce, while beachfront luxury hotels, golf courses and shopping centers enhance the tourist experience. As a transit point to Petra and the Wadi Rum desert, Aqaba plays a central role in Jordan's economy and tourism.
