Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The museum tells the story of the Arab Revolution after WWI that started in Aqaba against the Ottoman empire. The genealogy of the ruling royal family is presented, as well as the differet stages of the revolution. Nice museum with explanations in arab and english. Quite ineresting. It will take you about an hour to visit. It is near the qaba fort where it all began.

It's not going to be your highlight in Jordan by any stretch of the imagination. Unless it's the only place you go, I s'pose, in which case you need to re-examine your trip-planning skills. But this was a decent way to pass half an hour. We took a walk around the site with the help of our LP guide. A "guide" also accompanied us and encouraged us to jump into the ruins and such, but he didn't speak English and the signs there are, for the most part, faded or ruined. Recommend you read up about it before you go, and try to imagine this place back in the day.

It is right in the city center, free entry and the guard with his poor English managed to explain us all.
30 min round is enough.

This is right by the north beach area where the 4* and 5* hotels are located between the Movenpick and the Gateway. Until 2013, this site was free. Now it costs 1 JD to enter. You can walk through the ruins of the old city in about 30 minutes. There are posted signs in Arabic and English. This and the Castle are the best ancient ruins you will find in the city (but that isn't saying much). You find much better in Amman or in Israel.

Aqaba Museum is located in Sherif Hussain bin Ali House, between Aqaba Castle and Flag Revolt Area. So it’s a part of the house. Great history, be prepared to have a good background and to read while in the museum. Friendly security and free entry

There is not much left to give you an impression of the ayla. Only a few walls and buildings can be distinguished. There are a number of explanation signs to give you a bit of insight.
It is not something worth a detour. More some to spend 15 minutes if you happen to be close.

We saw this place from the road. Went in and had a look around for 10 minutes. It’s ok, it’s free, there is loads of glass on the floor so be careful.

A compact site. Does not appear finished. Not enough information provided for tourists. Attractively lit at night.
