Aqaba beach

Aqaba is a resort town on the Red Sea in Jordan. The beach is quite the same as in the neighboring Eilat, but with the Muslim specific. For example, women in bikini are not a good idea on public beaches. So you'll have to stay in a beachfron resort, or just pay some fee to get to the hotel's beach. Diving and snorkelling are excellent, - as everywhere on the Red Sea. All of the above also applies to the suburbs of Aqaba. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]
