Aqaba in the Early Morning Light

Aqaba is the only coastal city of Jordan, with an estimated population of 140,000 and a land area of 375 square kilometres. The city's strategic location at the northeastern tip of the Red Sea, has made its port important over the course of thousands of years. Today, the port plays a primary role in the kingdom's economy, it also serves several countries in the region.
Aqaba's location next to Wadi Rum and Petra has placed it in Jordan's golden triangle of tourism, which strengthened the city's location on the world map and made it one of the major tourist attractions in Jordan.
The film "Lawrence of Arabia" with Peter O'Toole has boosted Aqaba's popularity, where the Battle of Aqaba took place in the year 1917.
