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. 

The rocky mountains of Wadi Rum stand majestically over an ancient city that has been revamped to cater for local, regional and international tourists who want to live a new experience and discover a new civilization and culture on the tip of Jordan's southern frontiers. Walking, trekking and climbing is an absolute dream for anyone who want an adventure and the quite life. In today's health  conscious society, this is what peple shoul be looking at.

Aqaba and its hotels makes it ideal for family vists as well as for executives who want to get away from their meetings, conferences and venues. Aqaba is ideal for MICE tourism which is likely to develop more strongly in the coming few years  through the touristic projects which are being developed and constructed. The experience is yet to be discovered.
