Aqaba Walking Tour
Aqaba, Jordan
Why Walk Aqaba
Aqaba sits at the northeastern tip of the Red Sea, Jordan's window to the underwater world. The coral reefs here are among the best-preserved in the Red Sea, benefiting from Jordan's relatively short coastline and conservation efforts. The city has been a port for over 5,000 years, and its historic core retains a medieval fort and traditional souk.
