Workation in Aqaba: the essentials
Jordan's only coastal city sits at the northern end of the Gulf of Aqaba, within sight of Eilat across the water. Its port has mattered for millennia, and the remains of the Aqaba Church, regarded as the oldest known purpose-built church, stand close to the modern shops. Today it is a special economic zone with about 148,000 residents as of 2015, a working port and hotels along the shore. Coral reefs south of town draw divers and snorkellers, and Wadi Rum is a day trip inland, King Hussein airport is about 11 km away, and buses run to Amman on the Desert Highway. Summers are fiercely hot, which pushes outdoor life into the early morning and the evening.
