Aqaba Castle is an ancient castle located in the center of the city of Aqaba in southern Jordan, specifically on the shore of the Gulf of Aqaba. This castle dates back to the end of the Mamluk era in the region, but today it has been turned into a museum.
The Aqaba Fortress is also known as Mamluk Castle. It offers a glimpse into the rich history of Aqaba as every corner of the castle recites a tale about its magnificence and grandeur. In earlier times it served as a pilgrimage stop, but now it’s a popular tourist site.

One of the highlights of the castle is the Aqaba mast. It was built in 2004 in the square adjacent to the castle to carry the flag of the Great Arab Revolt. At that time, the mast was the tallest in the world.

The fortress was under Egyptian authority until the year 1892 when it was handed over to the Ottoman Empire until the Great Arab Revolt began, and the Jordanian tribes took it as a headquarters and a starting point for liberating the Levant from the Ottoman rule that lasted 400 years.
