It’s a nice little seaside retreat that has a surprising amount of menu variety. Try it on your next stop in town!
Red Sea Grill
You can’t really go wrong with this one, nestled in the (honestly beautiful) Mövenpick Hotel. It’s pricey, but the food’s worth it!
Alkokh Cafe And Restaurant
What can be said about this one that hasn’t been said already? There’s a reason why, when you ask the local Aqabians, they point to it.
Al-Shami
If you’re the type that likes to experiment with street food, mostly because you know the risks are well worth the rewards, then Al-Shami is the place for you. As an added bonus, it’s really clean, so the risk factor goes out the window!
Sushi Corner
Local Red Sea fish, paired with Japanese sushi, is a match made in heaven, and I will fight you on this.
Al Shatt Restaurant & Terrace
Al Shatt, or the coast in English, deserves its name with this tranquil seaside paradise. The grilled Sultan Ibrahim is amazing.
Romero
This has become a default option for the old souls in Aqaba, but don’t let that stop you from experiencing one of Aqaba’s best Italian places, specifically Sicilian food. Yes, the type of Italian food with a lot of sea fish. Now get out of here.
Ali Baba Restaurant
Yes, it’s Ali Baba. What did you think? We were going to make a list without this street classic. Try it at least once so you can officially say you’ve been to Aqaba.
