Greatly cherished as the only outlet to the sea, the port city of Aqaba at the southwestern point of Jordan provides a breath of fresh air and the country’s only real beach resort, to which Jordanians and visitors alike flock in their droves.
Aqaba also boasts nine months of mild summer weather during autumn, winter and spring. When temperatures reach a chilly 10°C in Amman, the temperature in Aqaba can be an enviable 25°C.
There is plenty to do and see in Aqaba but its main appeal lies in its coral reef, offering some of the best diving and snorkelling sites in the world.
