The Port of Aqaba is at the head of the Gulf of Aqaba off the Red Sea in southeast Jordan. Just nine miles from the border with southern Israel, the Port of Aqaba is the country’s only seaport. Aqaba Port is located on the northern east of Aqaba Gulf, which is a part of the Red Sea, whose length is estimated by 1930 kilometers and width of 360 kilometers and its depth reaches 2000 meters. In its northern region, it branches into two parts forming the Suez Gulf and Aqaba Gulf known for its deep waters. On its southern part, it narrows to form Bab El-Mandab to reach 26 kilometers. The Jordanian coast extends from the north of Aqaba gulf to the south until the Saudi borders with a length of 26 kilometers. Aqaba port is characterized by its strategic location in the middle of the three continents (Asia, Europe, and Africa). It is also characterized by being the only port for Jordan. Aqaba port is connected to a modern roads and transportation network with all Jordanian provinces and neighboring countries. In 1952, Aqaba port was established after issuing the High Royal Diktat will for the purpose of establishing, developing, and maintaining berths and warehouses, in addition to handling and storing cargo from/to vessels and in warehouses and port yards and two ports for bunkering and trade.
