About this experience
Aqaba is Jordan's only seaside city, with coral reefs just a few metres from the beach and warm water all year. On the first day we show you the city – the Mamluk fort, the ruins of early Islamic Ayla and the old market – before sunset on the beach and a night in a 4★ hotel.
On the second day a boat takes you to two snorkelling spots in the Aqaba Marine Park, with gear, a lifeguard and a barbecue lunch on board, before your transfer to the airport, the border or your next stop.

Good to know
- Buy the Jordan Pass online before you travel: it covers Petra, Wadi Rum, Jerash and 40+ sites, and waives the tourist visa fee if you stay at least 3 nights.
- The hotel is 4-star near the beach. Choose the 5-star upgrade when booking for a beach resort in Tala Bay or the city centre.

Questions travellers ask
Do I need to know how to swim for the snorkelling trip?
It helps, but it is not essential: life jackets are provided, the crew includes a lifeguard, and you can stay on the boat and watch the reef through the glass or from the deck.
Is Aqaba good for a holiday all year?
Yes. The Red Sea stays around 21–28 °C all year and winter days are usually sunny and warm. July and August are very hot, so we plan activities in the morning and late afternoon.
Is the price per person or per group?
Per person. The more travellers in your group, the lower the price per person – the total updates live as you choose your group size.
Can I change the pick-up time?
Yes. We suggest a time that avoids the heat and the crowds, and you can adjust it after booking by message or WhatsApp.
How do I pay?
Choose your payment method at checkout. You will receive an instant booking email, and our team confirms the driver and guide details within a few hours.
