Aqaba. Between Sharm El Sheikh and Eilat.

In the north of the Red Sea, of which the Gulf of Aqaba is a part, there is a small, very young, Jordanian resort town of Aqaba, quite popular with European tourists. According to a number of parameters, Europeans prefer it to Egypt, at the expense of more pure water areas of beaches and magnificent corals, which they gladly learn by renting services in diving centers. There are four in Aqaba. Many have heard something before about the existence of mainly excursion programs, cultivated in relation to this country, profile travel agencies.

Arriving at the airport of Aqaba and making a transfer to the hotel, we begin to fill in our pre-selected hotel rooms and look for new adventures, opening Aqaba.
What should be highlighted in matters of rest:

• we drink water, as in Africa, exclusively from plastic bottles, water in the faucet - only for washing
• the climate of the Red Sea is known to everyone. In winter, the average temperature of the water starts from +22 degrees, air from +24 and above.
• the inhabitants of the sea depths have a place, due to the coral relief of the bottom, with all the resulting attributes, including jellyfish and black hedgehogs. A whale shark, often found by divers, feeds exclusively on plankton, and is absolutely safe for humans.
• excellent local cuisine, first of all it uses such terms as "hummus", "mansaf" and "falafel", it has baklava and very tasty local ice cream.
  Dinner at a city restaurant will cost one about $ 20.
  You can find something and more expensive, for example, restaurants with fine seafood.
• we do not drink local aniseed vodka (just for special lovers), but beer and wine are quite decent.
  -the security is quite palpable, European tourists feel quite comfortable, while observing the code of conduct rules, like in the average Arab country. Ladies, you can safely walk in light clothing and do not cover your head with a handkerchief, if it does not require weather conditions.
  -from local attractions, you must always see Ford "Mamluk fortress" built in the 16th century, next to which you will also find a small historical museum.
  Fans of the "Indiana Jones" - must go to the ancient city of Petra, on the way to catch the sandy massifs of the Wadi Rum desert. Journey through the Wadi Rum desert by car takes one day, on a camel (available service) - two days.
  For fans, with fanaticism to look - "everything", add to the storage of plans, departure to the Dead Sea, visiting the "city of contrasts" Amman. For lovers of the Middle Ages, there is available, the Karak castle of the Templar Crusaders.
  As everywhere, there are plenty of market shops with souvenirs.
  The purchase of gifts, in conjunction with the presence of "global" Arab trading negotiations, plus numerous selfies for social networks and relatives during the entire holiday. What else does an ordinary human need to return home, to continue to live and work at home happily & peacefully.
  The end.
