The guide books warn against the extreme heat in Aqaba in the summer months, but
when we visited in early November the temperature was in the mid-20s Celsius
which, coupled with a slight sea breeze, made it very pleasant.Although Aqaba is famous for diving amongst the coral, there is very
little in the way of public beaches as we know them. There are new hotels
being built just south of the town and these are likely to have their
own beaches.
We spent two days there and we enjoyed the climate and the compact nature
of the town centre which made shopping easy and safe (see the shopping
page). Cruise ships call here to visit Aqaba and to take a trip inland to the highlight of Jordan - Petra.
