There were no reports of casualties or physical damage, but the city's governor Ghassan Al-Kayed said several residents rushed out of their homes "for fear of any aftershock".

"The city felt the earthquake which took place at 8:05 am (local time)," he added.

The quake was recorded at a depth of 8 km in an area 30 km south of Aqaba.
