    If you have a jordanpass, the entrance fee to this museum is included. But it's not expensive, though. The museum consists of some rooms. Not too big collections. But It's quite interesting. Especially about the ancient people of Jordan. Not too many visitors here. The place is between the flagpole and the Aqaba castle.

    Actually the museum has been moved to Amman, and now there is no Archaeological museum in Aqaba right now

    Lots of people wandering around like us, but the museum is closed even though both Google hours and our hotel said it was open

    Closed as of January of 2022 and probably for many more months as it's moving buildings. I wish they would update the website instead of having tourists waste time going to check

    Came here only to find it is closed due to COVID. I wish Jordanpass would have informed me of this so I don't waste a trip.

    Actually is the museum to be found next to Aqaba castle, but the archeological site is further to the north on the sea side opposite to the Aqaba Gulf Hotel. The site is still under excavation but it is allowed to enter and the sign tell you the story of the lost city of Ayla. This was the name of the town before Aqaba. This old town disapeared under water and is now being recovered. It hurts to realize that all the hotels and other new buildings around this area, are build on top of this ancient town.

    Very disappointing site. The castle is under renovation and even though you can enter there is nothing to see. Don't waste your time

👍👍 Been here in December 2011, right after the Syrian revolution had started. We didn’t know it until we arrived at a hotel in Aqaba and had a chance to watch a tv news. There were many Syrian refugees. I met some of them, about four family of approximately 30 people arrived on a bus. They couldn’t af...
