Aqaba Archaeological Museum is located in the house of Sherif Hussein Bin Ali next to Aqaba Fort. The museum was opened to the public in 1990 and presently houses an important collection from the Islamic site of Ayla, dated to the Rashidun, Omayyad, Abbasid and Fatimid periods and thus representing the Islamic periods from the mid-seventh to the beginning of the twelfth century AD.

Among the exhibits is a Kufic inscription of "Ayat al-Kursi" from the Holy Qu'ran, which surmounted the eastern (Egyptian) gate of the city, and a hoard of gold Fatimid dinars minted at Sajilmasa in Morocco.
