Why this trip
On the Red Sea, Jordan's desert journey ends in the water. Aqaba is the only seaside resort in the country, with coral reefs off the coast and desert mountains in the background. For families who need a rest after Petra and Wadi Rum, the city is a calm landing. The Japanese Garden is a snorkelling spot on the reef, the Berenice Beach Club has a beach and sunloungers, and children swim in the Saraya Aqaba Waterpark.
At the Rise Adventure Park, older visitors can try a high ropes course, and Ayla Oasis combines resort and lagoon. The Cedar Pride, a sunken ship, is a destination for divers. For women who want privacy on the beach, it is worth asking about protected areas before booking, because this cannot be said in general terms. The Kempinski Hotel Aqaba Red Sea and the InterContinental Aqaba come from the hotel list.
Aqaba is well visited from March to May and in October and November. Wadi Rum, Petra and Amman are the neighbours. If you enjoy the water with children, you should choose times outside the midday sun and allow enough shade.
