Aqaba Travel Guide

Aqaba is Jordan’s only coastal city, which sits at the head of the Gulf of Aqaba, at the northern tip of the Red Sea. Its beautiful coastline has become a haven for watersports lovers and sunseekers, and is lined with a growing number of luxurious resorts, dive schools, and private beaches. With direct flights to Aqaba on the rise, more and more visitors are taking advantage of the city as a winter sun escape, thanks to its great value options, whilst the city has become a great base for exploring the region, with Petra and Wadi Rum within easy reach, and a hop across the border in Israel is Eilat, the Negev Desert, Dead Sea, and even Jerusalem.
