About this experience
A gentle introduction to Aqaba for families and cruise guests. With a licensed guide (optional), you see the Aqaba Fort, rebuilt by the Mamluk sultan Qansuh al-Ghuri and captured by the Arab Revolt in 1917, the excavated streets of early Islamic Ayla and the giant flagpole on the Corniche.
Then, if you add it, set off on a yacht trip on the Red Sea with lunch on board, and finish with fresh juice in the old souk.
