Aqaba, which lies on the northern tip of the Red Sea, is the only coastal city in Jordan. It has been inhabited for more than 4,000 years and boasts a rich history. In bygone years, it sat at the confluence of trade and pilgrimage routes from Egypt and Arabia. Today, its main attractions are the coastline, beaches, and watersports such as diving and snorkeling. The waters here are home to an array of colorful fish and are so clear that you can even see these creatures from the shore. The cool evenings are perfect for a stroll around the city.
