Aqaba BeachesWhere are they and what do they offer?Enjoy a beach holiday at one of the Aqaba Beaches - inside the city or on the South Coast! Jordan's Red Sea coast extends only 27 kms - as opposed to Egypt, with a coastline of 1840 kms. Still, there is a good choice of public beaches and private beach clubs. So if you look for a spot to chill out after or in between your excursions to Wadi Rum, Petra and other exciting inland destinations... ... you WILL find your place under the sun!
 Did You Know?Jordan's coastline used to be even shorter! Jordan and Saudi Arabia concluded a bilateral agreement in 1965 that resulted in exchanging of around 6000 sq kms of land and Jordan's coastline on the Gulf of Aqaba was lengthened by about 18 kms.

Some of the 5-star hotels offer monthly and yearly membership packages as well for expats and residents of Aqaba. Inside the city
