Aqaba is a coastal city in the southern part of Jordan and the only place in Jordan that touches the sea. Walking through the city of Aqaba, you can see the beautiful Red Sea. You can also enjoy swimming in the sea. With its warm climate and little rainfall, it is famous as a resort area. The large square from the Arab Revolt period has many spots suitable for viewing the sea, as well as cafes and restaurants. Seafood is also famous, with popular dishes including shrimp and grilled fish. It offers a different kind of enjoyment compared to the Petra ruins and the desert.

#overseastraveltrip Looking from Aqaba Castle towards the seaside, you can see a huge flag flying on a particularly large pole. The rebel flag is a symbol of Aqaba. Below it is a large seaside square, a popular resting spot for tourists and Aqaba residents. We went to a coffee shop in the square. The stylish shop had beans, postcards, and goods from various countries. You can enjoy not only coffee but also sweets, and the inside of the shop has a wonderful aroma. The sea is right in front of you, so it's perfect for relaxing and watching the sea. #Jordan

Aqaba, a famous tourist destination known for its beaches along the Red Sea and snorkeling activities, attracts many travelers as Jordan's only coastal city. In addition to the very friendly locals, the seafood restaurants, stylish cafes, and seaside promenades are also appealing. This time, I visited a shop called 'Life is a beautiful ride.' They had a wide variety of ice cream, and it was very delicious. I relaxed in the cute interior of the shop.

Aqaba accommodation: Hakaia hostel This accommodation is in a good location, the breakfast is delicious and hearty, and it is clean and tidy. The hostel's decoration style is very international, and the culture is authentic. The hostel provides Wadi Rum carpooling service, 25 JOD per car. The price is split equally per person, and the price for one person is 15 JOD. If someone A, it will be cheaper than Jett, but more expensive than the local bus. Recommended stay: 1-2 nights The city is small and there are not many places to visit. If you want to play in the water, it seems that the Egyptian side is better. Aqaba is located at the intersection of Israel, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan. A short stay is enough. It feels good to stroll around Aqaba Castle and enjoy Aqaba Bay at sunset.

Aqaba is a seaside city at the southernmost tip of Jordan, which is very suitable for leisure and vacation. If I had enough time, I would spend 2 days in Aqaba and 1 day in the Dead Sea. 🗺️My weekend trip route Day 1: Amman➡️Petra➡️Aqaba Day 2: Aqaba➡️Dead Sea 🌈Aqaba 🚗About 4.5 hours' drive from Amman, about 2 hours' drive from Petra 1️⃣JETT Bus, 10 JOD/person There are many buses, and you can buy tickets at JETT Bus Station, Abdali. But the bus is not very fast, so it takes a little longer 2️⃣Self-driving About CNY 250-350/day, you can use a translation + passport Jordan is left-hand drive, and the driving experience is quite friendly except that the locals drive more fiercely and there are more ups and downs 🏠Hotel recommendation InterContinental Aqaba, an IHG Hotel ➡️CNY 1500-2500/night (of course there are more expensive room types) ✅Private beach + invincible sea view, very suitable for blowing the sea breeze in the room, lying on the beach to watch the blue sea, swimming in the sun, walking to the beach to watch the sunset of the Red Sea ✅Aqaba is a diving resort, in addition to coral reefs, there are underwater planes, underwater tanks, it's a pity that I didn't have enough time to go diving this time 🍜Restaurant recommendation Azaz Caborya seafood restaurant ➡️I highly recommend their grilled fish, which is very tender and the sauce is also good. The other seafood is average 🌈Dead Sea Because I didn't have enough time, I didn't choose to go to the resort to float. I found a shore and walked directly to the Dead Sea to watch the sunset. Perhaps because of the influence of salt crystals, the Dead Sea seen from the shore in the evening is blue-green and white, and the sunset of the Dead Sea is pink, which is very soft🌅 🚗About 1 hour's drive from Amman 📍My water point: Spiaggia di Sale There are few tourists, and there are simple showers nearby for people who float in the wild to wash ⚠️The parking point is a certain distance from the sea, but the salt crystals along the way are also very special, but the crystals are very sharp, be careful not to be scratched
