"Aqaba - A nice wash up after Wadi Rum" Aqaba by Sambawalk
Aqaba Travel Guide: 165 reviews and 312 photos
While Amman shivers in winter with tempature of 5C, it is 20C in Aqaba. Aqaba is popular with Jordanians from the north. From the pic, you can see Eilat, Israel in the opposite coast.
Diving and snorkelling are Aqaba's main attractions. It is not as expensive as Egypt , but still a good place to explore the underwater brilliance of the coral-rich gulf.
I did 2 dives in Aqaba and for the first time, I did the wreck dive in the Cedar Pride.

The coralls outside Aqaba are really beautiful. I dived at Cedar Pride twice during my week in Aqaba (one was a nightdive).
