Aqaba enjoys a unique position as Jordan's window to the sea, situated at the northeastern tip of the Red Sea with views across to Israel, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia. The city's 27-kilometer coastline offers some of the world's finest diving sites, with pristine coral reefs teeming with marine life just meters from shore.
Beyond the beaches, Aqaba features historical sites including the 14th-century Mamluk Fort, ancient Islamic city ruins at Ayla, and the Archaeological Museum. The modern marina development includes waterfront restaurants, cafes, and shops. Major resort areas include Tala Bay to the south and the city center beachfront with hotels like Mövenpick, Kempinski, and InterContinental.
