The visitor is conveyed both stunning beauty and grace by the beach city of Aqaba. A collection of calm mountains and an intriguing desert touch the Red Sea, reflecting on the crystal-clear waves. The Gulf of Aqaba, which stretches along the northern coastline, is 180 kilometers long, grows to 25 kilometers wide, and has 27 kilometers of Jordanian beachfront. The remaining portion of the coastline is shared by Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. A visitor may enjoy a spectacular simultaneous view of all four shorelines while taking a boat to the Gulf’s center.
CITY BEACH
Whether you are staying in the city center or one of the neighboring hotels, this beach is a convenient alternative even if it is undoubtedly not Aqaba’s greatest beach. Because of the significant boat traffic you’ll encounter here owing to City Beach’s near proximity to the Port of Aqaba, we advise exploring a bit farther to the South for a nicer, more pleasurable day at the beach. It can become rather crowded, but there aren’t any snorkeling or diving spots worth mentioning. If you’re interested in learning about the local way of life, this is an excellent place to people watch.
AQABA SOUTH BEACH
12 kilometers of beaches and small bays make up South Beach, which is protected by colorful coral reefs. Only a few meters offshore are some of Aqaba’s top snorkeling and diving spots.
Much of South Beach is broad and flat, providing lots of space to stretch out and enjoy your day. Make sure to stay for a truly stunning sunset while you’re there. As described in travel guides, the Red Sea at Aqaba is indeed peaceful, serene, and breathtakingly gorgeous.
Although Aqaba is highly protected and there are few waves here, the sand on our beaches is not as fine as it is in other, harsher areas.
For your comfort and safety, we advise donning booties, diving shoes, or other water-friendly footwear due to the presence of some gravel and stone. Taxis are reasonably priced and accessible 24 hours a day to take you to and from South Beach Aqaba.
