How long Have Mövenpicks Resorts in Aqaba been open?
Mövenpick Resort & Residences Aqaba established itself in Aqaba‘s heart in April 2000, welcoming guests for over two decades.

This difference in opening dates reflects the distinct experiences each resort provides, catering to travelers seeking either a central and lively location or a tranquil beachfront escape.
