Dive Into The Red Sea At Aqaba

Since you’re in the area, you might as well tick off the Red Sea, eh? Often neglected by foreign tourists, Aqaba is a seaside town that Jordanians flock to any chance they get. While it’s got numerous fancy hotels {our favourite is the Mövenpick Resort & Residences Aqaba, with a private and four swimming pools, no less} which you may not want to ever leave, hop on a boat for a night dive. As magnificent as a day dive might be, there’s a mystical feel to the underwater world at night. If you time it for a full-moon night, chances are you’ll see crab, lobster, eel, lionfish, octopus and of course, the untouched reef. For seasoned divers, check out the many wrecks including the Cedar Pride and Taiyong. For non-divers, just snorkel along the reef during the day and you’ll still have plenty to rave about.
