Heading to Aqaba for some winter sun, diving, or to start your Jordan adventure?
Our guide for travellers has got you sorted including the best things to do in Aqaba, when to visit, where to eat and where to stay!
Updated October 2023
Would you trade a desert for a sliver of the shore?
Give up an empire of golden sand for access to the salty sea?
This was the dilemma of King Hussein in 1965 when looking to increase the influence and scope of his southern port on the Red Sea.
In a political game of pontoon, the young ruler of Jordan twisted, handing neighbouring Saudi Arabia six thousand square kilometres of desert in exchange for 12 kilometres of seafront. Overnight, he nearly doubled Jordan’s coastline and turned the key a little looser on his almost land-locked Middle Eastern country.
Hussein would make a bigger, more seismic decision for the borders of his kingdom when choosing to join Egypt and Syria in their war against Israel two years later; a decision which lost half of Jerusalem, everything west of the Jordan River, and fundamentally transformed the region.
Yet, the King’s gamble of ‘65 was undoubtedly a successful one, with the slight unlocking paving the way for the southern city of Aqaba to develop into a clanking deepwater port and a world-class diving destination backed by dry, copper-hued mountains.
Situated four hours south of the capital city of Amman, sandwiched between borders with Israel and Saudi Arabia, and with Egypt just across the water, modern-day Aqaba is pulling out all the stops to establish itself as the best Red Sea holiday spot in the Middle East and an alternative gateway or base for Jordan adventures. As well as year-round sunshine, luxury hotels, and its unique designation as a low-tax ‘special’ economic zone, it has two big aces up its sleeve: the sparkling desert crown jewels of the Hashemite Kingdom - Petra and Wadi Rum - are less than two hours away.
It remains the only place where locals can access the sea.
The aspirations of Aqaba are very much centred around building up the Dubai-lite tourism style of private beaches, high-end hotels, and shopping centres on man-made lagoons, and planned development will transform stretches of the south coast in the next decade. Fundamentally though, this remains a working port city at the heart of Jordan’s economic prospect, built on the back of cargo ships and coming and going of tankers and hulking freight trucks, belching their way north on the highway carrying lego-like stacks of coloured containers.
If staying in one of the several high-end resorts though - like Al Manara , Mövenpick or The InterContinental - this industrial-maritime side of the city won’t really register too much.
Indeed, depending on where you stay and what you do, your impression of Aqaba and its merits will be quite distinct from another traveller who was there at the exact same time: a week-long stay at a five star hotel in November won’t be the same experience as staying in a cheap city centre hotel in July or a remote dive school further along the coast with your own rental car.
As there are such distinct versions of Aqaba available to visitors, your travel style and budget will really shape how much you’ll get out of the city, how much you’ll enjoy it, and how much time you should commit to it in a Jordan itinerary.
In this short guide, we want to give you all the necessary context and essential advice to plan your own Aqaba trip and travel better there. From the best things to do and best time to visit, we also share personal tips on where to stay for your travel style, the dive sites, and important money-saving information on the Jordan Visa for any travellers flying into (or just visiting) the city.
The Best Time Of Year To Visit Aqaba (AND THE WORST)
Aqaba’s unique position as a winter sun destination where you can relax in style at a fancy resort, go diving or snorkelling in the Red Sea and visit two absolutely amazing places on day trips - all in the same week - whilst having the atmosphere of an authentic, working Middle Eastern city and its cuisine right on your doorstep, will inevitably see it become more popular as a standalone destination and alternative start/end point for Jordan trips.
The airline schedules do however determine its tourism to quite an extent.
Although Queen Alia International Airport in Amman sees daily flights throughout the year, Aqaba’s King Hussein International Airport (AQJ/OJAQ, Google Maps) is primarily served by Europe only from October to March.
Updated November 2023 | The direct flight from the UK to Aqaba has currently been suspended due to the ongoing situation in Gaza.
For example, easyJet is currently the only option from the UK, but flights are only chartered from October/November to March from London Gatwick and Manchester. It’s a similar schedule from Italy, Germany, France, and Switzerland. The timeframes may vary year-to-year, starting a little earlier or later, and sometimes going into the beginning of April, and some of the routes only offer a couple of flights a week too.
A new airline - Fly Aqaba - was recently created with Saudi investment and may increase options.
However, the main takeaway is that the best time to visit Aqaba is in that post-summer to spring stretch.
This is due to sea-level Aqaba, surrounded by desert, having stiflingly hot summer months (average highs of 39ºc in July and August), so June to early September is inhospitable. Prices go down as the mercury spikes however.
Either side of this, temperatures will be warm but pleasant from early September to early November and April to May (we visited Aqaba in late May, where it was like stepping into a baker's oven until around 6pm).
Unsurprisingly, these are also the busiest months in Aqaba, so prices go up accordingly for accommodation.
During the main winter sun months of November-February, Aqaba offers more amenable average temperatures of 23ªc and pretty consistent sunshine. Although this will be ideal to top up your vitamin D by the pool and the crown jewel sites will be at their least crowded, do note that Petra has more chance of rain and grey skies during the Jordanian winter, and any overnight stays in the Wadi Rum desert will be much chillier than you may assume.
The big caveat to this is for divers, who are arriving more for visibility and marine life rather than sightseeing and sunbathing. Though you can dive year-round in Jordan, the rule of thumb goes that May to June is excellent for visibility, September and October are the best months for marine life and water temperature, whilst you shouldn’t bother after November. March and April can have issues with visibility due to plankton blooms.
The Best Things To Do in Aqaba
A Walk By The City Beach
We visited on a Friday - the Islamic Sunday - and Al-Ghandour Beach was the most bewilderingly foreign experience we’ve had in quite a while on our travels. That’s not a negative, as when things don’t necessarily make sense or relate to how you perceive things, that’s a sign that you’re travelling out of your comfort zone and therefore learning about yourself and others.
Women covered up head to toe, sun hats atop hijabs. Large groups of ogling men. Carpets and cushions being transported to the sand in transparent plastic duvet bags, those being the choice to lay down on rather than a sarong or a towel. Handsome men in fez hats bowing to serve sweet, dark tamarind juice. Rubber duck rings, speed boats with car horns, glass bottom boat death traps for 25 quid an hour. The only skin on show belonging to men or the under-10s. Comments and wandering eyes at a modestly-dressed Emily. The opposite of calm.
It was pretty interesting to say the least, and probably the most insightful cultural experience we had in Jordan.
You should absolutely take a walk along the promenade which runs parallel to this city beach, and hang out for a while to take in the atmosphere. However, this litter-strewn city beach is one we would strongly recommend against sunbathing at or planning on spending a relaxing day.
Those wandering eyes that the very modestly dressed Emily experienced just whilst walking by the beach were sleazy and intimidating rather than curious, and even the small triangle of skin on show beneath her chin felt far too much. Solo female travellers should expect quite a bit of unwarranted attention, no matter how culturally appropriate your dress.
Find it here on Google Maps - and have one of the tamarind juices if the lovely man in the fez passes by!
From this beach, it’s also possible to take a boat trip in a small, tired glass-bottomed vessel. However, we were genuinely shocked at the prices of these (25-30JD for 45 minutes once a ‘special discount’ had been given). Popular with visiting Jordanians, but almost certainly not worth it at that price…and we couldn’t find any of the sunset boat trips we had read about either.
If you do find them, let us know!
RELAX AT THE PRIVATE BEACHES & BEACH CLUBS
The centre of Aqaba remains a place for holidaying Jordanians to visit the beach, picnic together, or smoke shisha upon the crowded, public sands of the city beach. And this is a good thing!
As we explain in 23 Things To Know Before You Visit Jordan (published soon), women are expected to dress modestly in Jordan, and this includes when at the beach on a hot day. A day at the beach also reflects the conservative values of the majority of the population.
And so, though its stated aim is to increase its appeal to foreign tourists, that sort of cultural environment may not scream ‘relaxing beach holiday’ to many foreign tourists. Due to this, for Aqaba to really count as a ‘beach holiday’ destination, most visitors will instead use the private beaches and pools of the various five-star hotels and luxury resorts, or pay for a day pass to enter a private beach club.
Within these private beaches and pools, women are able to go more uncovered and wear bikinis (though the mix of guests and cultural norms may make this more or less comfortable for you at times). They also have more of the facilities and environment you’ll be hoping for if you’re arriving on holiday or for a few days of R&R after walking around Petra and adventuring in the desert camps of Wadi Rum.
If you’re not factoring in these private beaches or going diving, then there may not be a big reason to include Aqaba in your Jordan itinerary.
Private Hotel Beaches
We’ve included recommendations on where to stay in Aqaba at the end of this post, but if having a private beach or holiday experience is the main reason you’re thinking of Aqaba, then you should take a close look at the following options.
They’re all clustered in the newer, more modern western section of the city - where you can find the Ayla man-made lagoon and modern resort complex, the poster child of the new Aqaba - and focused on luxury experiences and stays.
Each also has conveniently located private beach for guests, as well as pools.
The Kempinski Hotel | Mövenpick Resort | The InterContinental | Al Manara Luxury Hotel
The Beach Clubs
The above hotels and resorts won’t suit all traveller’s budgets or travel styles though.
If you’re staying in a hostel or central hotel instead, it’s important to know that non-guests can visit some of the above with a day pass or opt for a private beach club in Aqaba.
Prices can be quite steep at 20-35 JD per person for the newer, fancier options, so plan ahead for a full day there in order to make the most of it.
B12 Beach Club | On the turquoise man-made lagoon, this is a modern, youth-oriented option - the place to be seen in the city. Entrance is 20JD per person, rising to 30JD on the weekend. Find it and read recent reviews here on Google Maps.
La Plage Beach Club | Another one on the lagoon, this beach club is part of the Hyatt Regency resort but we think B12 sounds like a better option for day guests.
Berenice Beach Club | Situated between Yamaniya and South Beach, this popular private beach club outside the city has 500 metres of clean sand, several pools, and on-site restaurant. Access is for families and couples only. A day pass is 13JD per person, including free transportation, but multi-day packages are also available. Find it here on Google Maps.
Tala Bay Beach Club | Similar to the above, but further along the coast and part of the Tala Bay Resort. Entry is 20JD per person.
Day Trips To Petra and Wadi Rum
Referred to as the ‘Golden Triangle’ of tourism in Jordan, Aqaba’s proximity to the two most famous experiences in Jordan certainly elevates its credentials as a holiday destination.
Without too much stress or planning, you can be by the pool one day, hurtling through Mars-like landscapes in the back of a truck the next, back at the beach to recover, then exploring one of the New Seven Wonders of the World to round off the week.
Wadi Rum is 75 minutes away by car (72km), whilst Wadi Musa, the gateway town to Petra, is just over two hours away (129km).
The most convenient option to visit them is with a round-trip tour from Aqaba, and we recommend planning to do these as two distinct day trips to enhance your experience of each, rather than trying to squeeze into one adventure (although several popular tours do precisely that).
Two popular, highly-rated options include you can book online include:
Wadi Rum Desert Tour from Aqaba | A full-day private tour, with round-trip transport, lunch, and a jeep tour. Find out more or book here.
Wadi Rum Jeep Tour | Alternatively, you could head out independently with a taxi to join this popular full-day Jeep Tour at the entrance to Wadi Rum. Find out more here.
1 Day Petra Tour From Aqaba | This tour includes private transport, your tickets, a three-hour guided tour and lunch. Find out more or book here.
There are alternative options - including car rental and public transport - and we’ve shared all the information you need to pick and plan in this post: How To Get To Petra from Aqaba.
Go Diving + Snorkelling In The Red Sea
Ever fancied scuba diving around a sunken army tank? Now you can!
Diving was the main reason we included Aqaba in our Jordan itinerary.
Having got our PADI Open Water + Advanced diver qualifications on the island of Utila, Honduras, it was a no-brainer to get back in the water sooner rather than later. However, we hadn’t quite realised just how much respect there is for Aqaba as a dive destination: it’s often put forward as the best place in the Middle East for it.
Locals and ex-pats in Amman will come down for the weekend purely to dive or do courses in the Gulf of Aqaba, whilst getting your PADI Open Water or Advanced qualification here is a realistic goal (definitely won’t be as fun as learning in somewhere like Utila though, so have a proper think about it first…) A big reason, beyond the Red Sea reef, is the creation of several sunken wreck sites, with military hardware including tanks and a plane.
What’s super important to know is that you don’t have to already be a qualified diver in order to enjoy the water and the coral! You can also head out snorkelling, or do one of the fantastic one-day taster scuba courses where you’re taught the basics and head out with an instructor that same day.
It took a lot of independent research before we fully understood the set-up though for diving in Aqaba, and we can happily distill it down for you to the following key points:
· All of the dive schools are based on the South Beach coast (maps), roughly 10-15 minute drive from the centre of Aqaba. However, many of them have an office in town for enquiries and reservations. We had expected them to be located on the seafront, but they’re actually quite a bit back, behind a highway, so all the divers are ferried down in the back of a jeep to the water and back again to the school.
· Most schools offer free shuttles for pre-booked divers and snorkelers staying in Aqaba, or a complimentary taxi pick-up and drop-off. Alternatively, you can choose to flip everything round and base yourself at the dive schools - many offer good accommodation but the setting won’t suit everyone.
· Shore dives are the most common in Aqaba i.e. you simply walk into the water from the beach with all your equipment. The sites are often only a few metres away from the shoreline! You can do two dives in a standard day-package, but you can extend to three allowing you to access a combination of the most popular Aqaba dive sites, including Cedar Pride and the Japanese Garden.
You can find a good overview of all the Gulf of Aqaba dive sites here.
· You can also do boat dive days, with some schools offering this as a full-day package experience including lunch and snacks. A boat is necessary for some dives (Old Port, Tristar Wreck, Powerstation) and a more expensive option, but is absolutely not necessary to access lots of the most famous. Indeed, it’s the ability to access quality wrecks and coral from the shore which makes Aqaba stand out as a diving destination!
We did lots of research and contacted about a dozen dive shops before arriving, and decided to do our 2 x shore dives with Arab Divers. They had a good standard of equipment, English-speaking dive leaders and staff, lockers for our valuables, and our taxi there/back was included in the price 50 JD per person.
Good to know // Head south along the highway, toward the Saudi border and the dive schools, and you’ll find much longer, quieter stretches of uncrowded public beaches (South Beach and Yamaniya Beach), as well as two private beach clubs and the Tala resort area.
We only visited these for our shore dives, and though these long, wide sandy stretches had a lot of potential, they were quite bare, littered, and lacked facilities. Additionally, as these are public beaches, you will still need to respect the cultural norms and dress appropriately - this means that women are expected to remain covered, no matter the heat.
For these reasons, and the accompanying heat and limited shade available, we wouldn’t necessarily recommend these as beaches to spend any time at based on our experience.
If you don’t have your own rental car, then a taxi will take you out to them for about 3-6JD one-way (price depends on which you’re going to, make sure the meter is on).
Explore The Streets of Aqaba
We’ve shared our recommendations for your wanderings around the centre of Aqaba below:
· Stop By Two Ruins | Although it may not be as clear as elsewhere in Jordan, Aqaba has just as ancient a lineage as other famous places in the country. Unfortunately, you could easily walk past the two lonely, archaeological sites which would best explain this history. The first is Ayla (Google Maps), the ruins of the 7th century walled Islamic city from which the man-made resort lagoon takes its name and was the foundation stone of Amman.
The next site is even older and, despite Jordan being famed for its Holy Land sites, goes completely under the radar. Next to a non-descript road and with no real signage to speak of, there are the small ruins of one of world’s first churches (just take a second to process that). Long thought to have been the world’s first church, from the 3rd century, but it was supplanted in 2008 by another discovered in Jordan dating from 33-70AD. Find it here on Google Maps.
· The Arab Revolt Plaza + Promenade | The large modern plaza usually has some kids playing football or hanging out on their bicycles, and little else beyond its massive flag. It is historically significant though as the place where the first bullet of the Arab Revolt against the ruling Ottoman Empire was shot. Unfortunately the buildings were all unused or abandoned when we visited, and the half-finished amphitheatre around the corner has been left to fester. However, this area and the promenade linking the two is where things became a little more Italy, with boys jumping off rusting iron platforms and rebel 5JD boat trips offered, whilst couples and families enjoy sunset with a cup of tamarind juice. Nice to walk and people-watch.
· The Aqaba Fortress | Unfortunately this small coastal fort, which looked like it has quite a bit of potential given the renovations we could see, was closed across our stay in Aqaba (as was the neighbouring museum). Entrance is meant to be free, and you should swing by from the Plaza. Find it here on Google Maps.
· Cafes and Juices | There are three cafes on the corner of Zahran Street and Ar-Razi (maps) which put out squidgy chairs for juices or coffees at sunset. The hidden away Shisha Cafe (maps) is good find for a coffee in a quiet little square with locals.
· Restaurants | This street (maps), just by theSharif Hussein bin Ali Mosque, is always a good option for lunch and dinners. Tourist-facing but prioritising local dishes, it’s got lots of options for everyone and decent prices. We really liked our food at Arabic Moon (maps), but pretty certain their English menu has significantly different prices to the Arabic one!
The Al Mohandes Cafeteria (maps) is a little out of the way, but very local and excellent value for small plates of good falafel, houmous, fresh bread, labneh, foul, and shawarma for meat-eaters. The owners are very friendly and welcoming too. It’s certainly nothing fancy - and more of a quick eats cafeteria than a restaurants, and it’s best to dress conservatively if going here.
Start Your Jordan Road Trip
If you’ve read this and Aqaba sounds like a place you would happily spend a night or two, but perhaps you’d prefer to head out an explore more of Jordan independently, there’s good news (and no bad news!)
Just because Aqaba is sometimes the cheapest or most convenient place to fly in / out of, that doesn’t mean you have to spend all your time there. You could absolutely decide that it’s simply a jumping off point for your Jordan road trip.
The selection and locations of car rental companies in Aqaba is pretty good, and improving all the time. King Hussein International Airport has several international firms inside the terminal, whilst some of these also have offices for car collection in downtown.
You have two options:
Pick up your rental car on arrival at the airport on arrival and go straight to your next destination.
Arrive, spend a night or two in Aqaba, then collect your rental car downtown and start your road trip.
The most convenient way to quickly get a gauge on general availability and prices for your own travel dates is doing a search on Rentalcars.com and AutoEurope, which aggregate and list most of the local companies as well as the main international brands in Aqaba. We always look + book via them for our rentals, and saved money over going direct.
Before booking anything though, we highly recommend reading this companion post: 17 Things To Know Before Driving in Jordan
Where To Stay in Aqaba
There’s a lot of construction at the moment to expand Aqaba’s Dubai-style offerings of apartments, resorts and man-made holiday communities. Ayla, the man-made lagoon complex 10-minutes from the city centre, is the clearest example of this, but there are big plans for more of this along South Beach as part of the literal masterplan of the ASEZA to develop Aqaba as an international holiday destination.
Given the desert conditions, where water is such a scarce resource, we aren’t sure how sustainable or desirable such a rate of expansion will be, or how much of a market there is for it.
Regardless, the location and style of your accommodation in Aqaba will really shape your overall experience. The city centre has some very tired hotels and some good new ones for all budgets, whilst the west side is were all the resorts and luxury hotels are situated.
If you’re arriving for a holiday or winter sun relaxation, rather than as part of a Jordan road trip, we recommend focussing on the resorts and hotels. One final piece of advice when looking on booking sites - don't accidentally book somewhere across the border in Eliat, Israel!
The dive schools, some of which have really nice accommodation with nice pool + social areas whilst others are on the basic side, are a taxi ride away from the city but not situated on the beach. Unless you’re here to dive specifically, we think they’re really only a go-to option if you get a good deal or it’s a place you really like the look of, and you’re not too bothered about being in the city itself.
The aqaba City Hotels + Hostels
Baity Boutique Hotel | We stayed here, and it’s a good value option with a decent rooftop sunbathing and bar area (plus small pool). The receptionist also went above and beyond when we had a flat battery on the rental car. The location is however a little out of the way. Find out more here.
DoubleTree by Hilton Aqaba | Smack bang in the centre of Aqaba.
Hakaia Home and Haikaia Community | The very first hostel in Aqaba, Haika Home offers dorms, breakfast, and communal kitchen, whereas Hakaia Community is the newer companion, focussing a little more on creativity and co-working spaces.
Both are highly-rated and popular.
The aqaba Resorts
Cloud7 Ayla | In a sea of 5* hotels, the 4* Cloud7 Ayla stands out for its contemporary design. Additionally, the apartment-based nature of the resort may well suit some travellers better. Find out more here.
Al Manara Luxury Hotel | The communal and pool areas, plus the sea access are just beautiful at Al Manara. Find out more here.
The Kempinski Hotel | Facilities as one would expect from a superior hotel but what sets Kempinski apart are the number of excellent and large suites available. Find out more here.
Mövenpick Resort | Rooms a little on the old-fashioned side, but this is the best value 5* resort in Aqaba. Find out more here.
The InterContinental | A little too cookie-cutter for our tastes, but offers a standardised 5* approach and has good reviews. Find out more here.
Hyatt Regency | Large, comfortable and plush rooms decorated in a modern traditional style. The decor throughout is lovely, as are the communal areas. Find out more here.
If you’d rather be based outside the city, two alternatives are the Tala Bay Resort and Mövenpick Tala Bay.
The aqaba Dive Schools
Relatively remote, on the wrong side of highway, not on the seafront, and with construction sites in the vicinity at time of writing, it’s important to do your reasearch beforehand to make sure it’s a good fit for what you’re doing. For committed divers or those coming down to Aqaba specifically to dive, then it’s a no-brainer to base yourself at one of these - and good packages are often available for those doing courses or multiple dives.
Aqaba Is Visa Free
Most visitors to Jordan require a tourist visa on arrival, but the charge for this is waived for those flying into Aqaba.
This is due to its Special Economic Zone designation, meaning there are no visa fees for arrivals at Aqaba airport, and you can simply arrive, get your passport stamped, and receive a free Jordan visa*.
Due to this, there is a far less reason for travellers flying in and out of Aqaba to buy the Jordan Pass. This is in contrast to travellers flying in / out of Queen Alia International Airport in Amman, who have to pay 40JD (£60/€55/$55) for their tourist visa unless they have pre-purchased a Jordan Pass.
The popular government-run combo ticket waives visa fees as well as includes entry for Petra and about 40 attractions across the country, and is guaranteed to save quite a bit of money overall. However, the money-saving benefits really only accrue if you would've had to pay your visa fees.
For most visitors to Aqaba, staying primarily in the city and using it as a base for day trips and diving, you don't need to buy the Jordan Pass. However, if you are simply flying in / out of Aqaba and plan on doing a Jordan road trip for a week or longer, it may still be a worthwhile purchase.
Find out more about the pass and how it works in this post: A Jordan Pass Review. If you’re flying in/out of Amman, but will definitely be spending time in Aqaba, that review post also includes important details about you can also get your fee waived.
*Some 'restricted' nationalities (primarily African and South American) do require advance approval for their Jordan visa, no matter their arrival port. Double-check this and requirements here.
How To Get From Aqaba Airport To Aqaba
King Hussein International Airport just under 10km from city centre, about a 20-minute drive to most accommodations. If you’re not picking up a rental car there, then the best way to get from Aqaba airport to the city is a taxi for 10-12 JD, with the potential for a 1JD charge per suitcase. It’s best to agree a price in advance, and have a note of your hotel address written down or pinned on an offline Google Map if it isn’t a well-known resort.
The charge will be higher if you’re going direct to Tala Bay or the dive schools.
There is also a company called Jordan Shuttle offering transfers, but reviews online are mixed.
At present, there is no public bus from the airport to the city.
Is Aqaba Worth Visiting?
For Jordanians, Aqaba will always be special place to go spend some time by the sea and to have a vacation, and that should be viewed as an important and primary purpose of tourism here.
For visitors though, there are a couple of important points to note.
Although we had an enjoyable time wandering around, seeing a different side to Jordan, and going diving in the Red Sea, we didn't really love Aqaba. Conceited as it may sound, we really would have appreciated a travel guide which made its particular set-up a bit clearer so we could plan our time better and manage expectations.
The divide between luxury resort, private-beach Aqaba and the old city is quite stark, with the trajectory of the city's developments likely only serving to deepen its Dubai-lite feel and aesthetic. There also aren't too many things to do in Aqaba if you have no desire to dive, snorkel, or spend a couple of days in a more luxurious sort of accommodation. The beach vibe and atmosphere, though cultural interesting, is also quite distinct and definitely won’t suit everyone.
If you are on a Jordan road trip and don’t have the time to spend a couple of days in a resort (or it really isn’t aligned with your travel style), and don’t plan on enjoying the water-based activities, we’d say that you could quite happily give Aqaba a miss.
If however you are keen to enjoy the winter sun, wish for a comfortable hotel experience, with the benefits of authentic Middle Eastern culture on your doorstep and a few days of travel around Jordan, then Aqaba will absolutely deliver on those fronts!
