The small Red Sea port of Aqaba is unique and beautiful in a very special way. Encircled by rugged purple mountains that subtly change in mood and color as the day unfolds. On the beaches visitors soak up the sun before cooling off in the refreshingly cool waters.
The natural setting is impressive, with the narrow bay of the country's only port, ringed by mountains and fringed by Palm trees. The port area lies round to the east of the town, and Jordan receives most of her imports from this route.
