Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    This is a great place for backpackers. The location is just fantastic, just a kilometer away from Aqaba Gateway, and right opposite the local bus station. They have a balcony where you can dry your clothes, something not hostels have. You can also plan your water activities from this place, and tours as well. They also have a range of diving equipment you can use for free. The breakfast is really good as well.

    Frankly, I advise all guests in this wonderful hostel. Very beautiful view, great location, the owner of the hostel and his son Abdullah. They help you with everything, a swim in the boat, and the Wadi Rum tour is the most amazing. The prices are cheap and the beach is beautiful. Thank you I will be back
