AQABA

Aqaba is Jordan’s Resort on the Red Sea. Its sandy beaches and coral reefs are the most pristine. It is the resort where fantasy, sun and sea meet the charms and atmosphere of antiquity.

For water sports and winter warmth, Aqaba is mild, sunny and inviting, fringed with palm trees, lapped by the crystal clear waters of the gulf, cooled by a steady northerly breeze and ringed by mountains that change in color with the change of hours

With its balmy winter climate and idyllic setting, Aqaba is Jordan’s year-round aquatic playground. In winter, while Amman shivers around 5ºC (41ºF), the temperature hovers steadily at about 25ºC (77ºF) in Aqaba. The thriving underwater marine life and the crystal-clear waters of the Gulf of Aqaba make diving conditions there among the acknowledged best in the world. Snorkeling, water skying, windsurfing, fishing and other water sports are also popular. With its tranquil, clear waters and thriving marine populations, Aqaba is ideal for divers as well as casual water sports enthusiasts. As the Gulf of Aqaba is an inland sea with few strong currents, its waters remain warm and clear throughout most of the year. Conditions are ideal for underwater photography, and a lavish array of exotic fish and plant life makes for excellent snorkeling and diving. Over 140 species of coral have been identified in Aqaba’s water
