Wadi Rum is a beautiful desert in Southern Jordan. There is a sea of rolling dunes, and dramatic sandstone and basalt mountains jutting out of its sandy floor. A guided Jeep tour of the area is the best option for maximizing your time, which will give you views of the terrain, and make stops to allow you to scramble up a sand dune and look at petroglyphs. We also enjoyed a "camel safari" retracing Lawrence of Arabia's journey through the desert, and having lunch at a Bedouin camp.

The luxury camp was amazing. The inside of the tent was beautiful and luxurious. The food at the dining tent was incredible. The truck ride to the camp scary but exciting. The staff was helpful and very friendly . I would highly recommend it .

B12 Beach Club is Ayla's main beach, a rustic natural destination, which is also a cool and relaxing place to hang out in. Nonmotorized water sports, a secure sea-water lagoon, a wake park and all-day dining, ensuring everyone is entertained at B12.

We went to have lunch at B12 and the food was amazing, especially the fish tacos ???? And it was great spending some time trying the waterski and swimming at the beach which was very clean and nice with the soft sand.. Thank you Ayla for a great destination

Reviewed By Mihaela11 - Amman, Jordan
Our safari guide took us on an incredibly beautiful area: Khazali canyon. It is a 100 narrow area with petroglyphs depicting humans( even women giving birth) and animals and Islamic,Talmudic and Nabatean inscriptions. Our guide -Abdel Karim- even if he was very young was very professional and well informed. Wear comfortable sport shoes since the path is very narrow.

Calm and spacious. Local people really tolerant and welcoming with tourists who want to take a look inside the mosque. Covering the head is obligatory for women to enter as well as taking off shoes for everyone.

The South Beach is located at a short drive from downtown Aqaba and is well worth the drive. One can clearly see parts of Israel and Egypt behind the Red Sea from the South Beach. The South Beach offers opportunities for snorkeling to see the beautiful coral reefs under the Red Sea. Those who are not into snorkeling can find some glass bottom boats or submarine boat to view the coral reefs. Indeed South Beach is an awesome place to visit.

Visited three times during our week’s stay inbetween sight seeing. We are a family of 5 with three teenage boys and we all loved it. For 10jd each you get entry, towels, sunbeds, music, volleyball/organised activities (yoga, aerobics, darts etc - although didn’t join in). Three swimming pools, pier to jump off and coral reef to snorkel. Don’t do cash inside - lovey reasonably priced restaurant on site (can’t being own food - bags searched on entry) free shuttle bus from Aqaba and back (10am) from the kiosk where the tour buses park up). Staff fab - booked the boat trip (20jd but included club entry one day - glass bottom boat looking at the ship and plane wrecks plus 1 hour snorkelling with kit provided). Showers onsite. Would highly recommend - fab sunset

Berenice Beach provides a good opportunity to see the Red Sea corals that are close to the beach. You can also swim to the Japanese Gardens that is a few hundred metres out, to snorkel the area. Berenice Beach provides changing rooms, showers, towel, pools and restaurants that are all included in the entry price. Unlike the Dead Sea hotels that provide expensive access to the beach with restricted facilities, access to the Berenice Beach is reasonable.

The castle is a very interesting place in Aqaba. Very hospitable man in the entrance made a little excursion for us and showed the most beautiful views. This place will be interesting for all people who like history.
