AMMAN — HRH Crown Prince Hussein on Wednesday inaugurated the Great Arab
Revolt Square project in Aqaba, a Royal Court statement said.
Crown Prince Al Hussein was briefed on the various
phases of the project, its strategic value, and historical status, as the
square is located near Sharif Hussein bin Ali’s house and the Aqaba Castle,
which are closely tied to the Great Arab Revolt of 1916.

overseeing the Great Arab Revolt Square project, while the Jordan Heritage
Revival Company is responsible for organising weekly and seasonal functions for
tourists, in addition to celebrations of national occasions.
His Royal Highness also inspected renovations to the
area surrounding the square, including a newly established seaport with 258
fishing and glass-bottom boats, a fish market, and a restaurant area, the
