  • Aaron, the brother of Moses, the first high priest in the Bible, died in Jordan and was buried at Mount Hor at Petra, now called Jabal Hareun (Mount Aaron in Arabic) (Numbers 20:22-29)

  • Aaron, Mojsijev brat, poznat u Bibliji kao svestenik visokog ranga, preminuo je I sahranjen ovde. To brdo gde je sahranjen, dobilo je ime po Aaron-u (Knjiga o brojevima 20:22-29)

AQABA

 

Aqaba is the only coastal city in Jordan. Situated in southernmost Jordan, Aqaba is the administrative centre of the Aqaba Governorate.

On the other side of the top of the Gulf of Aqaba, there is Ellat, Israel’s city. The Israelis call the gulf as “The Gulf of Ellat.

AKABA

 

Akaba je jedini lucki grad I najjuzniji grad Jordana.  Administrativni je centar Aqaba governorata.

Akaba je u vrhu Akabskog zaliva na teritoriji Jardana I prakticno se vidi drugi grad, koji je isto u vrhu Akabskog zaliva, Elat, koji je na teritoriji Izraela.

U Izraelu se to zove Elatski Zaliv.
