Jordan's only coastal city — at the head of the Red Sea, with year-round dive sites and direct access to Wadi Rum (1 hour) and Petra (2 hours) inland. The Special Economic Zone status makes goods cheaper than Amman; alcohol is more freely available. Wi-Fi is solid; coworking remains thin but is growing. Dive scene is smaller than Dahab across the Gulf but the wrecks and reefs are well-preserved. Jordan Pass bundles tourist entry + sites for stays ≤30 days; longer stays extend in-country. Aqaba airport has direct flights to several European hubs in season.
