Berenice Beach Club / شاطئ ومنتجع برنيس العقبه
Tourist attraction
👍 Well, I'm not a fan of this type of clubs but when you are a girl traveling alone and want some piece and privacy, it's definitely the place to be.
The entrance is 13JOD, and you have a towel, shower, and changing room.
The place is mostly under cameras, so you can either lock your stuff (1 or 2 j...

Arab Revolt Plaza
Plaza
👍👍 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...

Aqaba City Center Shopping Mall
Shopping mall
🫤 For a beach town, almost impossible to find swimwear for women, unless you want to look like a depressed housewife from the 1950's....frilly skirt attached to the swimmers with a matching cap. No thanks! Does not seem to cater to tourists. Could be a lot better.

Aqaba Bird Observatory
Park
👍 This bird sanctuary is only in it's infancy, but there are still plenty of photo opportunities for birders. We visited just before the great migration from Africa to Europe, so not as spectacular as it could be.

Unfortunately, there is a very large amount of pollution and litter on the beach, meaning it is not safe for wildlife or humans who haven't taken the proper precautions. Be sure to keep your feet protected, otherwise loose shar...
