About 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.
