Abstract

The article features the town of Aqaba in Jordan. Aqaba, once a sleepy port, is being turned into a 20 billion U.S. dollar investment with new hotels being built in waterfront complexes. It is a 6,000-year-old place once fought over by Lawrence of Arabia and the Ottomans. Among its attractions are the restaurants at Raghadan and Zahran Streets, the ruins of Petra and caves of Wadi Rum and the historic Old Town.
