Taba-Aqaba

Taba-Aqaba is a point-to-point submarine cable linking Jordan and Egypt. Landing at Aqaba, Taba, it provides a direct fiber-optic path between the two countries, serving as both a primary data route and a redundancy option for neighboring cable systems. As an intercontinental system, Taba-Aqaba plays a role in the global mesh of over 500 submarine cables that collectively carry more than 95% of international data traffic. GeoCables tracks this cable using RIPE Atlas measurements from four probes in Minsk, Almaty, Tbilisi, and Jerusalem, comparing live RTT against historical baselines to catch performance shifts early.
