With its sandy beaches and coral reefs, Aqaba is Jordan's window to the Red Sea and its major resort center for water sports. It's fast becoming a major resort destination in the Middle East, boasting great scuba diving, snorkeling, and sailing opportunities along with sightseeing, shopping, and seafood restaurants.

A small but lively town at night, Aqaba is a great oasis for anyone who has worked hard at experiencing Jordan's two nearby "Wow!" destinations - Petra and Wadi Rum. Enjoy!
