Aqaba, Gulf of
Gulf extending northwards from the Red Sea for 160 km/100 mi to the Negev; its coastline is uninhabited except at its head, where the frontiers of Israel, Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia converge. The two ports of Elat and Aqaba, Jordan's only port, are situated here.
| A border crossing near the two ports was opened in 1994, for non-Israelis and non-Jordanians, to encourage the eastern Mediterranean tourist industry. |
