Travel Guide Aqaba

Aqaba is located in the south of Jordan just accross the border from Eilat in Israel and is the only place in the whole country where you swim in the sea. The beaches are great, so is snorkeling and diving. The red sea has a fantastic underwaterscape. Although a few spots in Egypt may have better opportunities, Aqaba is great. The town itself is exotic and promotes a true insight into the Jordanian lifestyle. Aqaba is a convenient starting point for seeing a few of the main attractions in the south of Jordan such as Petra or Wadi rum. Furthermore it offers the possibility to take the boat to Egypt, with ferries leaving regularly for Nuweiba in the Sinai. (Added) It is fair to say Aqaba is not that exciting to a superficial traveller, when he or she expects to see all that the town has to offer through hotel windows and city sites presented in package deals. However Aqaba is like many of its archeological sites - it needs to be excavated.
