The small Red Sea port of Aqaba is a unique and breathtaking destination, encircled by rugged purple mountains that change color with the shifting light. Visitors flock to its sun-drenched beaches to relax and cool off in the refreshing waters.

But it’s the secrets beneath the surface that make Aqaba truly special. Just off the coast lie some of the world’s most spectacular coral reefs, stretching hundreds of meters wide. These vibrant reefs are home to delicately hued corals and a dazzling array of colorful fish, creating an underwater paradise for divers and snorkelers.

Whether you’re soaking up the sun, exploring the reefs, or marveling at the dramatic mountain backdrop, Aqaba offers a one-of-a-kind experience that blends natural beauty and adventure.
