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.
Day three is yours: an hour on a glass-bottom boat over the coral, time at the beach or the pool – or swap it for a Wadi Rum jeep trip – before your transfer out. Two nights in a 4★ hotel with breakfast are included.

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.
- Every package can be adjusted: add nights, swap hotels 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 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.
