Aqaba

On your trip to Jordan visit the ancient city of Petra, float in the Dead Sea and explore the Wadi Rum desert. Would you like to add a generous portion of sun, sea and beach to your holiday? That makes the coastal town of Aqaba the perfect destination.

Located on the shore of the Red Sea, Aqaba has a lot to offer both adventurous travellers and sun lovers. Its crystal-clear water has earned Aqaba a reputation as one of the most beautiful dive spots in the world. Submerse yourself and admire colourful coral riffs, exotic fish and unique wrecks. 

More than a diving and snorkelling paradise

If you prefer history and culture, make sure you visit the Aqaba Fort. Here you will learn more about the city's important role as a hub for trade between Asia, Europe and Africa. Another popular activity is a desert safari. Hop in a jeep and discover the magical desert landscape. Along the way you will see bedouin camps, sample local cuisine and listen to traditional music.
