Aqaba Castle

Feel the past: while others are heading to the South Coast on the busy King Hussein Bin Talal street, you can step back in time wandering about the partially rebuilt Aqaba Castle. As we were the only visitors that time, the guard at the gate was very helpful and showed us around. We saw the prison right after the gate and the execution chamber a little later... it was scary! The messenger pigeons' place and the former horse stables were much more pleasing to the eye. inside aqaba castle 3 You can also climb up to the second floor of the castle but watch out, especially if you are with kids: There are no security handrails so it is easy to fall out if you are not careful. Admission to the Aqaba Castle is free.
