It has been brought to my attention that the beach I recently visited holds historical significance as it was the filming location for the Aqaba scene in the iconic movie Lawrence of Arabia. This added a unique and exciting element to my beach experience, knowing that I was standing on the same sand that was once graced by legendary actors and filmmakers. The beach itself was beautiful and serene, with crystal clear waters and soft sand. I highly recommend a visit to this beach, not only for its natural beauty but also for its rich cinematic history.

Our experience at the beach was fantastic. Despite being peak season, it wasn't crowded at all. We also appreciated the convenience of easy parking and the fact that dogs were allowed. Overall, it was a great time.

It's a pity that the hotel is still standing, as it really detracts from the natural beauty of the beach. Hopefully it will be taken down soon. On a positive note, the wild flowers in the area are absolutely lovely.
