Be the Mayor of Aqaba

Aqaba, Jordan · 190,000 people · Coastal City

The Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority (ASEZA) and the Jordan Royal Marine Conservation Society manage Jordan's only seaport and free economic zone, enforce coral reef protection zones in the northern Red Sea, coordinate cruise and cargo terminal expansion, and develop ecotourism infrastructure around world class scuba diving sites where protected reef zones begin metres from active commercial berths.

The seat for Aqaba on the Board of Mayors is open. Seat #1 is yours to take.

Take the Oath of Office

The city

Landmark: Ayla Historic Site & Red Sea Coral Reefs.

ASEZA operates Jordan's sole maritime access — a 27 km Red Sea coastline — as a special economic free zone that processes 100% of Jordan's container and bulk cargo imports, requiring the authority to balance port industrial logistics with protected marine reef conservation zones and a booming dive tourism economy in one of the world's most landlocked countries' only coastal city.
The Jordan Royal Marine Conservation Society funds artificial reef programmes where decommissioned military vehicles and aircraft are deliberately sunk to create new coral habitats in Aqaba's bay, with the municipality coordinating dive site access management, underwater heritage protection zoning, and the tourism economy built around the northern Red Sea's exceptionally clear water visibility.

How a term works

Take office and every day brings a live situation from the city's services: a decision to make and a result that is measured. A term is scored on approval, infrastructure, environment and innovation, inside a real budget, and every mayor's work adds to Aqaba's own record on the Board of Mayors. You are not alone in office: message and chat with other mayors, form a council with friends, trade with nearby cities and send aid. Cities rise together: there is no losing city.
