The Red Sea recovers between the destinations of those seeking sun and sea a few hours of flight from home. But instead of the usual Sharm and Hurghada, what do you say, for the next holiday on the Red Sea, to discover the beaches and the charm of Aqaba, the beautiful town in Jordan overlooking the Red Sea, which not only represents an important sea alternative, but which is also a privileged starting point to discover the rest of the Hashemita Kingdom.
The main attraction is of course the coast: off Aqaba, the temperate climate and the mild marine currents have created the perfect environment for the growth of corals and a burning underwater life.
You can swim between harmless sea turtles and dolphins that fly between multi-colored fish, while night diving reveals the presence of creatures such as crabs, lobsters and shrimps looking for food covered by the dark hours of the night.
The city is the starting point for the discovery of the many Jordan highlights: moving in the hinterland, less than an hour from the center, Aqaba offers easy access to the natural spectacle of the Wadi Rum desert, and not farther (about 100 km) open the legendary Petra scenariosOne of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World.
Aqaba is also an ideal shopping destination in Jordan because here everything costs less thanks to the Aqaba Special Economic Zone, tax free area that includes the city and the whole area that surrounds it and that has created an important and fast economic growth that has allowed the development of hospitality structures of very first level, with hotels of international brands.
