About this experience
A proper beach break on the Red Sea, with just enough to do. Day one is for the city – the Mamluk fort, the ruins of Ayla and the old market – and sunset on the beach. Day two is on the water: a boat trip to two coral-reef snorkelling spots in the Aqaba Marine Park with a barbecue lunch on board (optional add-on).
Day three is yours: a yacht trip with lunch on the Red Sea (optional add-on), time at the beach or the pool – or swap it for a Wadi Rum jeep trip – before your transfer out. The programme runs over three days and two nights; the hotel is not included in the price – book your own, or ask us and we can suggest one.

Good to know

- Hotels are not included: stay where you prefer, or ask us to suggest a hotel near the beach, in Tala Bay or in the city centre.
- Every package can be adjusted: add nights or add Wadi Rum or Petra. Send us a message after booking.

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 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 activities are planned for the morning and late afternoon.
Is the price per person or per group?
Not per person: the price is for your private car with driver, for your group only – choose the vehicle that fits your group. Add-ons such as tickets, guides and meals are priced as shown next to each one, and the total updates live as you choose.
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 your driver (and guide, if you added one) within a few hours.
