Worth knowing about Aqaba
- King Hussein International sits in a northern suburb of Aqaba, an unusually short hop from the town for an international airport.
- Aqaba is governed as the Aqaba Special Economic Zone, an autonomous authority set up in 2001 with its own regulatory framework separate from the rest of Jordan.
- Scheduled service is thin: Royal Jordanian is the focus airline, with routes to Abu Dhabi, Riyadh and Amman Queen Alia.
- Aqaba is about 100 km south of Wadi Musa, making it the second road gateway to Petra after Amman.
