Tell el-Kheleifeh is an archaeological site in Jordan at the head of the Gulf of Aqaba immediately northwest of the city of Aqaba.

Eilat is the only Israeli city on the Red Sea. Eilat is the southernmost town in Israel, isolated from the rest of the country by the Negev desert. It's sandwiched between Taba in Egypt and Aqaba in Jordan, and often used as an access route to those cities because of its large modern Ramon airport.
