Additional Info
Main futures of sustainability:
Increasing awareness of the dissemination of Aqaba experiences has made the local community keen to train and practice these experiences in order to preserve and perpetuate them, passing them on to the future generations. Today, there are many places in Aqaba that conduct training programmes and lectures to learn about and transfer these experiences
Respect for the people and for the cultural and religious values of our territories is fundamental for anyone wishing to discover and experience our itineraries
