Holidays to Aqaba

Holidays to Aqaba

While it may be renowned for its glorious beaches, Middle Eastern seaside atmosphere and plentiful opportunities for snorkelling, swimming and diving, there is so much more to Aqaba than its Red Sea location - although that is a huge draw for visitors. Aqaba is the only coastal city in Jordan, making it a popular tourist destination for those wanting to embrace the Middle East without venturing too far from their resort, as well as those en route to the diving resorts of Wadi Rum and Petra. Holidays to Aqaba are filled with as little, or as much, adventure as you can handle; wander through the old streets of the city in search of a bargain or two, and admire its beautiful architecture; relax beside the sea underneath a giant sun umbrella and embrace the warm climate, or remain within the grounds of your resort and indulge in a little more luxury.

More Travel Information

The resort of Aqaba is renowned for its snorkelling and diving, and you will come face to face with thousands of diverse and colourful fish amongst the wide fields of coral. If you don't want to venture beneath the waves, you could go out on a glass-bottomed boat or visit the Aquarium at the Marine Science Station. You can enjoy cultural tours around Aqaba's beautiful city centre, go on camel safaris through the desert, and book nature and wildlife tours in the surrounding regions.
As a popular destination for tourists and travellers, Aqaba is well equipped to feed a variety of palates. Middle Eastern, European, Asian and Far Eastern cuisines fuse effortlessly, as world-class dining meets local bakeries and patisseries, and street vendors serve traditional snacks to those in search of the markets. Traditional Bedouin cuisine such as Mansaf - lamb cooked in fermented yoghurt - and unleavened bread must be tried during your stay in Aqaba - you're sure to enjoy it.
Take a day or two out of your schedule to enjoy some of the sights of Aqaba. Luxury holidays to Aqaba are not complete without a little discovery.
