Also - for a steakhouse - King's has some amazing desserts - the molten cake is amazing - it came with fresh raspberries - amazing. Don't forget to grab a tin of cookies downstairs on your way out.

We go just for the Gelato or sit and have some salad pizza and then follow it up with the good stuff. Read more

Whether you are trying to eat healthy or need a treat from abroad, it is the best place to go. Lost of American beverages, cereals, European Chocolates, and health foods.

Most importantly - the only place in town I've found Cheez-it crackers! Read more

Glad we have donuts in Aqaba now! They are baked fresh daily. They have a branch out near the airport, next to PC Zone, and at times you'll find them at Souk by the Sea.

The coffee isn't much to celebrate, but the branch next to PC Zone is steps from Gloria Jeans, a decent combo. Taking a dozen donuts to work in the morning never got anyone fired either..... Read more

Still, the pastries are always fresh, the coffee is good and you can grab a loaf of fresh multi-grain bread for cheap to take home. Read more

People go crazy for this place. Chinese goods for cheap in Aqaba. The selection is huge - this is for sure.

The selection is huge - this is for sure. Tour buses stop here in Friday and Saturday (not exactly my idea of a fun day in Aqaba, but - whatever) Becareful...many items, if you can actually get the price tag off, won't last very long - especially in the toy and tool departments. Still, you can find alot and for paper and plastic good, as well as office supplies.
I guess my wanting to see the local economy grow and produce goods for themselves and for export makes going here often a conflict of interests....but hey - whatever works. Read more

The… You won't find a place with better atmosphere in Aqaba. Whether you sit in or out, the place is great. Great staff. The food is all impressive, outside of the burgers, especially the salads. The Salmon Ravioli is a favorite, as is the Fettuccine Gorgonzola. The steaks are good and the wine list is solid....

This Italian Restaurant also houses a sushi bar, and the sushi is quite good.

Outside of the fact that their play list always seems to include too much Enrique Iglesis, there is not much to complain about with Romero's.
