Syrian Palace: The best food in town!
jas39gripen Says: We tried the usual places; Ali Baba, Flokas and Captains but we were disapointed. At last we tried Syrian Palace next to the mosque on second floor and found a truly delicious restaurant with modest prices. The chicken ozi, the baba ganoush and the tabouli were fantastic and...

From the Border Terminal to Aqaba
Kuznetsov_Sergey Says: There is no public transport to the terminal. Only privately-owned Israeli cars may cross through the terminal and travel within Jordan after a change of license plates, registration and the payment of a tax.You can watch my 3 min 42 sec HD Video Jordan Aqaba-Petra part 1...

Transport across the border from Eilat
angiebabe Says: What your VT hosts may not think to tell you - as VT hosts for Israel seem to think this is something you should find out for yourself or suffer the consequences (and if you do expect them to be able to tell you there is some strange message in there that means you are...
alayola Says: This happened to some friend of mine, not to me but I was there when the confromtation started, anyways... In Jordan like many countries in the middle east there is a picture of the King on the money, so when my buddies went to some kind stip club, they were given money that...
onfoot Says: This is a great way to see Aqaba, the trip can last up to 60 minutes where you get to fly over Aqaba and Wadi Rum. Seeing the desert from up top is breathtaking ... I personally loved flying in the micro-light which is a small one engine glider if I may say, and provides a...
onfoot Says: Although fishing is not exactly what it used to be in Aqaba, but there are still many fishermen who go out on daily fishing trips. You can meet some of them at the coffee shop (Go to my things to do) or by the public sea access inside the city.They are mostly very friendly...
TheWanderingCamel Says: Jordan came late to the "tourist diving industry", and approached it slowly with all regard for the preservation of marine life. The results are paying off as far as the coral reefs are concerned. Profession photographers claim that the reefs here are easily as good as in...

The reefs stretch for a distance of over 25kms or right down to the Saudi border. Aqaba is all fringing reef, there are no off-shore reefs. The reef starts literally at the...
Gili_S Says: Aqaba is rather small town, I can't say that I was amazed of it, it does not have much to offer as a city, but the area is rather interesting.This flag here is much larger then it looks in this photo, it is by the sea shore and you can see it from almost 10 km away.
Kuznetsov_Sergey Says: The Gulf of Aqaba is a large gulf of the Red Sea. In Israel it is named the Gulf of Eilat.There are three important cities at the northern end of the Gulf: Taba in Egypt, Eilat in Israel, and Aqaba in Jordan. All three cities serve both as strategically important commercial...
