 Coral by TheWanderingCamel
Guidebooks tell you 30 minutes is enough, but an hour is probably better if you want to have a look around the harbour and get right down near the Israeli border.
You'll see a lot of coral, the seabed is totally covered with it, and drifting around on the dead calm sea is as relaxing a way to spend a hour as you could wish.

The Royal Family used to gather here in November for King Hussein's birthday. Perhaps they still do.

There's a video explaining the different kinds of fish, with a great collection of parrotfish, lionfish and a lot more.
There's also a display of stonefish which are poisonous, so you get an idea of just how hard it is to tell them from the stones!
Posted by Lulu Leave a Comment Directions: About 10kms south, between the ferry port and the Royal Diving Club, taxi fare officially 3JD. Careful, there's no other transport, so you might need to keep the taxi for the return trip

 Aqaba's beach by TheWanderingCamel
For less public, cleaner swimming, you can check out the hotel beaches. They charge varying amounts. You can usually hire snorkelling gear too.

Theres an enormous flag of Jordan at the waters edge - near the Aqaba museum - and where these guys were jumping into the clear blue water and swimming out and back to shore again. Looks like this is the place to get a glass bottom boat ride - or this was just a good spot for the guys to park up and relax in their boats.
But we had great views down into the water (looked like quite a bit of rubbish on the bottom though!) and across to Eilat, which is Israel, and right around that area of the Red Sea (not the Dead Sea - here we are at the Red Sea!! - but couldnt see anything red about it from there!) Leave a Comment
