About ACPOM

The Port of Aqaba is a global hub where three continents meet, serving as a worldwide destination for both investors and tourists alike. Located on the Gulf of Aqaba, which opens into the Red Sea, it extends to the borders of Israel and Saudi Arabia, touching the regional waters of Egypt. This makes it a comprehensive strategic gateway to regional and international markets, offering a wide range of business opportunities across various sectors and providing an advanced quality of life. The economic significance of ports, in general, lies in their role as a major driver of national economic growth, especially as they form the central link in an integrated transportation chain and are considered fundamental to development, given the impact of their services on the overall national economy.
