Aqaba Welcomes you
Aqaba is a fusion of history, nature, and city life surrounded by picturesque mountains and blue sea. Bathing in its year-long warm sun, Aqaba invites you to relax on its beaches, partake in the exhilaration of its water sports, and explore the coral reefs of the Red Sea, home to hundreds of different types of corals and sponges with their wealth of colored fish.
