Silica sand from Jordan, screened to size
Al-Ahlya Silica (brand Topaz) quarries and dry-screens silica sand at Al-Quwayra, about 70 km north of Aqaba, and sells it from its office in Amman. We supply construction, concrete and ceramics producers in Jordan and abroad, in jumbo bags, by truck to Saudi Arabia, Iraq and the Gulf, or by container through the Port of Aqaba.
