Jordan
Aqaba

Standing on the shores of the Red Sea, Aqaba is a busy town and Jordan's only port as well as a seaside resort, and truly has something for everyone - glorious weather, a host of water sports and a traditional atmosphere, with historical sites and desert tracks within easy reach.

Aqaba makes a great base for visiting some of the finest sites in the Middle East, including the 'lost city' of Petra, just a short distance away, and the stunning desert landscapes of Wadi Rum, where you can explore the mysteries of the desert.

Alternatively, simply enjoy a beach resort not yet spoilt by modern commercialised tourism.

As we offer direct flights into Aqaba, it also makes a great starting or finishing point for multi-centre holidays, and is the starting point of our Highlights of Jordan Tour.
