The port of Aqaba was a major Ottoman port on the red sea, connected to Damascus and Medina by the Hejaz railway. The railway connection was not established in the Ottoman age but in the Kingdom of Jordania, within the last 30 ys. --Dieter Zoubek (talk) 15:38, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Wyatt
Lots of BS Wyatt stuff with Citation Needed tags for over a year - I've changed the article so it's more correct from a scientific view. If anyone happens to find any *recognised* Egyptologists who back him up, feel free to change the article. --122.106.209.26 (talk) 02:51, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Page move
User:Alex F. moved this page to "Gulf of Aqaba (Eilat)" with the comment "More correctly". I dispute that this is more correct, so I have moved it back pending the outcome of this discussion. The article's intro states that "Gulf of Eilat" is used in Israel and pre-20th Century sources, however as far as I'm aware this name is not in common usage in the modern English-speaking world; after all this is 21st Century English Wikipedia, not 19th Century Hebrew Wikipedia. I see no need to confuse the article by renaming it and peppering it with alternative names - the page Gulf of Eilat quite reasonably redirects here, and the alternative name is adequately mentioned in the intro. Unless there is a definitive source that states that the Gulf's name in English uses both versions, then we shouldn't move it. Bazonka (talk) 19:47, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Though Wyatt's claims may not be notable, the fact that so many people have heard of them (and take them seriously) is. They may come here to follow up on "something I heard once", so a link to his article isn't asking much. ⇔ ChristTrekker 15:57, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't belong here. Discussion of Wyatt's claims belong on his article. I think you haven't read what we mean by 'notable', by the way. WP:NOTE is the main page for that. WP:FRINGE applies here also. Dougweller (talk) 08:53, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Isle of Graia3.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on September 22, 2010. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2010-09-22. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng {chat} 16:21, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've restored the article name following an undiscused move. Vsmith (talk) 14:20, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Moving the name
I think the page should be moved to the headline "Gulf of Aqaba/Eilat", as both names are correct and both are being used each in several countries. Also it shoud be taken into consideration that the cities are close in their importance in the area, and the port of eilat is a major port in the area. Yoav (talk) 17:49, 13 April 2015 (IDT)
Gulf of Aqaba is the commonly used name in the English language. You would need to supply WP:reliable sources (multiple) in the English language that use the Gulf of Eilat name. In addition the "/" format seems rather irregular for usage in an article name. Vsmith (talk) 16:14, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This should not have been moved. Gulf of Aqaba is (as far as I can tell) the WP:COMMONNAME, and so is rightly the article title. Gulf of Eilat is used, but is not as common - a redirect and a mention in the lead are perfectly adequate. Nobody calls it Gulf of Aqaba/Eilat, so this is a totally inappropriate article name. Bazonka (talk) 16:26, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I note that Israel uses the "Gulf of Aqaba" name in international agreements, eg [1][2], which seems to confirm that is the internationally agreed name. Rwendland (talk) 07:32, 14 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
PICTURES OF EILAT IN AQABA WIKIPEDIA
Why are there 2 pictures of the city of Eilat in Aqaba? - the beach of Eilat and The Underwater Observatory — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.65.211.43 (talk) 07:07, 26 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Presumably to better illustrate the article. Why do you think this is a problem? Bazonka (talk) 07:43, 26 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It does seem reasonable to have one photo of each of the major cities, so I've done that. (For the amount of text, there are probably too many photos altogether though!) Rwendland (talk) 10:02, 26 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
