Abstract

This study deals with an essential historical topic represented in the issue of Aqaba in 1906, about the border dispute between the Ottoman Empire, colonial Britain, and Khedive Egypt.This issue was also known in historical sources as the Taba incident or the border dispute over the Sinai Peninsula, and it was also known as the Egyptian border dispute.Although this issue is mainly due to the lack of clarity of the borders between the Ottoman states of Hejaz and Khedive Egypt, the Egyptian side was not as influential in it as the influence of the Ottoman Empire and colonial Britain.
