Top Local Tips for Aqaba

Ask around Avoid glass bottom boats: the coral closest to Aqaba town is dead and there are very few fish. Save your money and go instead via taxi for 4 people to Royal Diving Centre: only 4JD return and entrance is 9JD per person if booked from hotel. Snorkelling and visibility further down the coast is much better, and there's a decent beach and pools at the Club. Equipment is of better quality too at theClub. I took my own snorkel and mask; those who hired off glass bottom boat reported leaking etc and they didn't have any fins which was a problem with the choppy water.
