- a tough question I receive very often from people who are planning to come to Aqaba. When I ask back what they mean 'then best' some people say...

- The one that has a private beach!
- The one with a 'buzz'!
- The one located in a quiet neighborhood!
- The one close to everything!
- The one that is suitable for kids!
- The most expensive!
- The cheapest!


... and so on.

Everybody has her/his own idea of the 'best hotel' so I divided Aqaba hotels into different groups to make it easier for you to find the one that suits YOU best.

• Hotels by Location - New Hotel Area, Souk or Market Area, Al Cornish Street, Hillside, South Coast
• Hotels by Amenities - Beach Access, Swimming Pool
• Hotels by Star Rating - From Luxury Hotels to Tents

Hotels by Location

The two main groups are in-town and out-of-town hotels but I also divided in-town hotels into sub-categories.

In-Town - New Hotel Area

This area is west of the downtown, towards Eilat direction. You will find modern 3-4-5 star hotels here and also the JETT and TRUST Bus Stations, restaurants and the ruins of Islamic Ayla.

In-Town - Al Cornish Street

The official name of Al Cornish street is Hammamat Al Tunissiya Street, that's how you will find it on the Aqaba map. This is the main street of Aqaba downtown, a promenade with trees, fountains and benches. In the southern end of the promenade you will find the Tourist Information Kiosk where you can pick up a free copy of the Aqaba Map.

In-Town - Souk or Market Area

This is the 'heart' of Aqaba Downtown: vegetables and meat market, shops, restaurants and shwarma shops behind the big mosque. The hotels located here are mostly older budget hotels.

In-Town - Hillside

This area is cca. 10 minutes walk from the downtown.

Aquamarina III Hotel
Petra International Hotel (under reconstruction)
Al Zatari Hotel
The Aqaba House - Guesthouse / Bed & Breakfast

Out-Of-Town - South Coast
