Nairoukh Hotel 2: Hotel in Aqaba

...
First Trip to Jordan
Since our objective for crossing into Jordan via Aqaba was to ultimately reach Petra, we were not all that concerned with spending time in Aqaba (our mistake!). We only needed a place to crash - and to be sure it was clean.

Also, we were two women so safety was a big concern.

We settled on this hotel and were pleasantly surprised at how very nice it was. The room was clean and it even had a nice view of the bay! The hotel staff was super courteous and attentive and the price was more than reasonable, given the location.

In the evening, we were very comfortable to go outside on the main avenue and search out a restaurant for dinner. We were neither hassled nor faced with any strange situations. Everyone was friendly and it was the kind of experience that made me wish I'd been able to spend another day or so in the area - I noticed 4x4 trips to Wadi Rum and these types of activities....sigh.

Next time!
