Description
The town of Aqaba is a blend of ancient history and modern development. From the port, you can see the old Aqaba Fort, which dates back to the 14th century and witnessed the famous Battle of Aqaba during the Great Arab Revolt. You can also see the Aqaba Flagpole, which is one of the tallest in the world and flies the flag of the revolt. Beyond the fort and the flagpole, you can see the skyline of the town, with its hotels, resorts, and shopping malls. The town is surrounded by mountains, such as Jabal al-Tariq and Jabal Umm al-Nussor, which offer scenic views and hiking trails. The town also boasts rich marine life, with coral reefs and colorful fish in the clear waters of the Gulf of Aqaba. The town of Aqaba is a place where history, culture, nature, and leisure meet.
