Aqaba's history dates back to the 4th millennium BC. The name of Aqaba was given to the port city in the 14th century when it was ruled by the Mamluk Sultan based in Egypt. Previously, it was known as Ayla, a name which archaeologists and historians have often interpreted as the twin version of Eilat.

Tell Al-Khalifeh, inside the Jordanian-Eilat border, some 3 km north of modern Aqaba, was initially identified with Ezion Geber, mentioned in the Holy Scriptures, where King Solomon (pbuh) built a fleet that sailed to Ophir (Somalia) and returned with 420 talents of gold. But recent excavations indicate that the site was found after the 8th century BC and served commercial and industrial purposes: for smelting copper and as a halting place for caravans
