Aqaba, an ancient city filled with a wonderful blend of old and new.

Aqaba is the only coastal city in Jordan and is situated in southernmost tip of Jordan. It is an ancient city with history dating back to 4000 BC. Although an ancient city, it is now brimming with budget and 4-star hotels, restaurants serving many sorts of cuisine, businesses, souvenir shops, and cultural sites.

Since Aqaba is located near Wadi Rum and Petra, many tourists choose to visit this “triangle of tourism.” It has 23 km of shoreline. The gulf is filled with corals and marine life. Petra Divers is located in the heart of the city near the coast near many hotels. This makes it easy for our guests to find our dive shop.
