    • Stay away from the Red Sea resort of Aqaba in the south of Jordan... there are dirty (incredibly dirty) beaches, but this was not the worst part. Stationed in the harbour there are some rusty (oil?) ships... not a nice sight. The same sight is visible from Eilat in Israel, just opposite. It's really worth giving both places a miss, unless swimming in polluted and dirty waters is your idea of fun.

    At Least Do This: simply don't go, it's a waste of time
    Alternative: Anywhere else in the red sea should be less polluted
