Aqaba Off The Beaten Path: 6 reviews and 10 photos
You can get fantastic views out over the Gulf of Aqaba from the top of Jebel Baqer. You'll need a car, and preferably a 4x4 to take you up Wadi Itms towards the north and turn left at Wadi Mizfar, by some white buildings, just to the north of the truck driver stop.
There's a clear path to the saddle, but after that pick your way to the summit. It should take you about 2 hours from where you left the car.
From here the sea is "like a blue jewel" and you see the four countries spread out below you: Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Israel and Egypt.
Don't try this in the summer; the best views are after rain.
