Sights in Aqaba

Aqaba is a great place, its golden sands, good whether and towering palm trees makes it an experimental oasis of Turkish delights. For a first timer like me, it has been a great experience to escape from the rough and tumble of city life and just stroll along its promonenades, quite streets and rich golden beeches.

Aqaba is nothing quite like any other touristic resort, its small, cozy, and yet has everything to discover and all within a short walking distance. Its serenity, cafes and restaurants is only matched by the plenty in duty free shops as Aqaba city is part of the Aqaba Special Economic Zone which has been created since the year 2000 to offer the best in Jordanian hospitality.

Today its part of an amalgmation of economic development of foreign investor attractiveness as well as a tourist destination where it is linked to a “golden triangle” of Wadi Rum, and further up to Petra, which makes it ideal for different tourists, the corporate exectutive as well as the ordinary buff looking for easy pace, exotic sorroundings, for the sea as well as the sense of history, for someone who doesn’t want the traffic lights, yet who wants a good time this is the place to be.
