A little About Aqaba

Aqaba, Jordan’s only coastal city, dazzles with turquoise waters, coral reefs, and desert-meets-sea landscapes. Dive or snorkel at the Aqaba Marine Park to spot vibrant fish and the WWII Cedar Pride shipwreck. Stroll the Aqaba Fort (built by the Mamluks) or unwind at luxury beach resorts. With duty-free shopping and year-round sunshine, Aqaba is Jordan’s playground for relaxation and adventure. Don’t miss a sunset cruise or a desert safari to Wadi Rum, just 1 hour away! #Aqaba #RedSea #Diving #Jordan
