Choose the right season
The most pleasant times to visit Aqaba are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to early November), when daytime temperatures are warm but not extreme, and the sea is comfortable for swimming and diving.

Sobre Aqaba
Aqaba is Jordan’s relaxed Red Sea escape, a coastal city framed by desert mountains and clear turquoise water. It is the country’s only seaside resort, sitting at the southern tip of Jordan on the Gulf of Aqaba, a northern inlet of the Red Sea. From here, you look across the water to Egypt, Israel…

Plan around the sun and heat
In summer, it can be very hot in the middle of the day. Schedule beach time, boat trips and desert excursions for early morning or late afternoon, and keep city walks, shopping and meals for the evening when temperatures are lower.
Book your Red Sea activities in advance
Popular diving, snorkeling, and glass-bottom boat trips can sell out in high season and on weekends. Reserve your spots through BookingRadar ahead of time, especially if you have specific dive sites like Cedar Pride or Japanese Garden in mind.
Respect the marine reserve rules
Aqaba’s coral reefs are protected. Do not touch the coral, chase marine life or stand on the reef, and use reef safe sunscreen when possible. Following the rules keeps the Red Sea beautiful for future visitors.
Try both public beaches and beach clubs
The main city beach is lively and local, while private beach clubs south of the center offer sunbeds, pools, bars and easy reef access. Many hotels sell day passes if you are not staying there.
Combine Aqaba with Petra and Wadi Rum
Use Aqaba as a hub: join a one-day or overnight tour to Petra, and another to Wadi Rum for jeep tours and Bedouin camp stays, then come back to relax by the sea. This is one of the easiest ways to see the “Jordan classic” trio without changing hotels too often.
