Aqaba's Old Town park preserves the excavated streets of Ayla, the 7th-century Islamic port laid out in a neat Roman-style grid — city gates, a small mosque and the foundations of a walled harbour town.
It sits opposite the fort and museum. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan combine all three in one stop, and full package tours to Jordan explain the port's role.
