Points of interest

Aqaba

Aqaba is a Jordanian port city located in the Gulf of Aqaba, in the Red Sea. Inhabited since the year 4000 BC, it houses the Aqaba Castle from the Islamic era and, next to it, is the Aqaba Archaeological Museum. Its beaches are popular for windsurfing and other water sports, and the area is an important destination for diving enthusiasts, with notable diving areas such as the Yamanieh coral reef in the Aqaba Marine Park, south of the city.

Red Sea

The Red Sea in Aqaba is Jordan's only outlet to the open sea and it is a small strip of coast, as the narrow entrance of the Indian Ocean that wets Jordan is shared by Israel, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia, so from the Jordanian coasts, the mountains of Israel and Egypt can be seen a few kilometers away. It is an ideal sea for diving and snorkeling, as it has an incredible underwater animal richness.
