Sights The main attractions within Fayyum city are Egyptians living tourist-free lives. Visitors who weren’t ossified by the Islamic architecture in Cairo should visit the Mamluk Mosque of Khawand Asal-Bay, about lkm west of the town center along the canal. The restored mosque was named for the favorite concubine of the Sultan Qaytbay. For a [...]
Language Glossary - Arabic
Classical Arabic, Fusha, was the language of pre-Islamic Arabs (back in Al-Jahilyyah, the period of ignorance) and the 7th-century Qur’an. Its complex rules of grammar were not derived until the Umayyad period, when the Islamic Empire rapidly expanded to include peoples of non-Arab origin (i.e., Turks and Persians). Today, both the [...]
Near Aqaba: Wadi Rum
Those who most appreciate the majestic grandeur of Wadi Rum revel in its inaccessibility. Few buses and no service come here, and most Jordanians have never been to this area located nearly 300km south of Amman. Buses and service along the Desert Highway can drop you off 25km north of Aqaba at [...]
Sights
Yemenieh Reef, just south of the Marine Research Center beyond the port, ranks among die world’s best for scoping fish, if that’s what you go tor. The new Royal Diving Center (tef. 31 75 30) in the Yemenieh area rents out snorkeling and diving equipment. Most luxury hotels also rent out equipment and organize outings. [...]
Food
Aqaba’s fare is only fair. Fresh fish, the obvious staple of a sea-side town, is actually a rarity here. Because of the low plankton content in the clear northern waters of the Gulf of Aqaba, there are few edible sea creatures afloat. Jordanians are not permitted to fish richer Saudi waters and the Egyptian export [...]
Accommodations
A question has long circulated among budget travelers (or at least among budget travelers trying to impress other budget travelers): which is higher in Aqabaâ€ temperatures, tan lines, or prices? Sleeping near the beach or in an air-conditioned room will set you back several dinars. Several cheap hotels occupy the streets near Ailah Sq.â€ shop around before [...]
Practical Information
Aqaba’s overheated atmosphere has a discernible effect on human behavior. People drive like idiots here, even more so than in the rest of the country; there are (ignored) road signs telling drivers to lay off their horns. Aqaba is also far more lax about morality than the rest of Jordan. Hotels and most restaurants [...]
Orientation
Extending from King Hussein’s villa on the Israeli border to the huge, fenced-in port facilities 4km down the arching corniche to the southeast, Aqaba is one elongated beach. Luxury hotels and military complexes have gobbled up a good part of the beach near town. Four countries come together in the small northern tip of the [...]
Aqaba
Set in a natural amphitheater beneath a curtain of rugged hills, Aqaba is land-locked Jordan’s sole toe-hold on the Red Sea. A more spectacular scene than the reddish mountains, however, lurks under the sea: legions of brilliantly colored creatures flit through a surreal universe of coral. Aqaba is an important trade and military center, and [...]
Al-Madras and Al-Barid
The region around Petra harbors a wealth of minor archeological pleasures, but only those within walking or donkey-riding distance are accessible. All roads in this isolated area lead back to the Kings” Highway, not to outlying sites. The peripheral location of the sites is a blessing; outside Petra, imported commercialism has neither altered [...]
