Aqaba Bay

Aqaba Bay

Introduction: Aqaba Bay features deep, calm waters with sapphire-blue, crystal-clear hues. Thanks to the influence of equatorial warm currents and sea breezes, the average water temperature remains above 15°C even in winter, making it ideal for a variety of water sports. The bay is home to healthy and vibrant coral reefs that display stunning colors, dotted with a kaleidoscope of tropical fish — including adorable clownfish, Picasso triggerfish, and parrotfish. You’ll also find whale sharks, which may look fierce but actually feed on plankton, as well as elusive eels that dwell among the seaweed. Viewing the underwater world through a glass-bottom boat or even dancing with the fish among the corals is an unexpected highlight of your trip to Jordan. Aqaba boasts top-notch diving sites and clubs, and seaside hotels often organize water recreation activities.
