Notes

We are animal friendly and would love to take care of your cat, chickens or other animals. I don't have any experience with dogs and can't accept that responsibility.
 
We are happy to host you if it's a good time for us (school/work/life moment). Our boys would be happy to squeeze sometimes and share one of their bedrooms.

Neighbourhood

It's relaxing and mostly quiet place. You can enjoy it and use as a base for visiting Petra and Wadi Rum.
Aqaba and Jordan are very friendly and safe. People are kind and welcoming.

Getting to my home

No public transportation in the city. New apartment is centrally located and taxi is quite affordable within city.

Nearest airport

King Hussein International airport, Aqaba is 8 km away. Royal Jordanian is flying to Aqaba from Amman (Jordan), Turkish airlines from Istanbul. Seasonally, Ryan, Easy and Wizz are flying to Aqaba, and year around to Amman. 
Queen Alia International airport Amman is 320km (3.5- 4hrs) from our home.

Getting Around

Public transportation in Aqaba is not operating. Car rental or taxi are the only way to move around. It’s also affordable. 
I am happy to share contact of reliable taxi drivers or you can use newly established local taxi app. 

There are local buses to other cities and sites like Petra.
It is a common thing to rent a car with driver for tourists, but self driving in Jordan is easy.

Jelena

We are expat family, mixed from Serbia and Croatia. We have been living in several countries around the world and our children were born in different places. We are beginners in home exchanging but me and my husband met while couchsurfing many years ago. We are still somewhat active in hosting travelers in our home, where ever it is, and sharing experiences. We have an apartment in Aqaba where we live full time and coastal home in Croatia which is our family base. We are experienced travelers and world explorers that appreciate getting to know local community, nature and local food and wine. We are easygoing family looking for new adventures.

The whole family enjoys hosting as it gives us possibility to share more than just a home. We did plenty on different platforms.
Non smokers, respectful and clean.
