Cruise to Aqaba, Jordan
Aqaba shore excursions, amazing experiences coming soon., sorry, there are no excursions for this port at this moment., things to do in aqaba.
Underwater Adventures
Underwater anemone at Aqaba Marine Park
Explore the world under the sea at the Aqaba Marine Park. Instead of snorkeling or diving, you can also take a trip on the Red Sea in a glass-bottomed boat. Or visit the Aqaba Aquarium, where you'll be introduced to the wide variety of colorful local fish and corals.
Red Sea Relaxation
Head to Berenice Beach Club, where you wade in the clear waters of the Red Sea or relax in a sunbed. Or opt for the free beach at Al-Hafayer, or Palm Beach: Stroll along the tree-lined boulevard that runs along the shoreline, or join in the local tradition of beach time with tea or coffee.
Local Cuisine
While you're here, be sure to sample Aqaba's signature dish sayadieh , a delicately spiced fish, served with rice with onion and tahini sauce. Cruise to Aqaba to try falafel in its place of origin — some say Jordan is the best spot in the world for savoring these fried chickpea fritters, spiced with cumin and garlic and brightened up with parsley. Finish with tea flavored with sage or mint, or opt for Turkish coffee, a slightly sweeter alternative to espresso.
Some of the best shopping in Aqaba is in the souq , the market in the older part of town. Head here for Dead Sea products, handmade clothing, jewelry, carpets, pottery, glassware, nuts and spices — pick up a glass bottle filled with designs made in sand, a signature Jordanian trinket. Aqaba's special economic status also makes it a good place to pick up duty-free goods during your Jordan cruise.

Aqaba (for Petra), Jordan
Jordan may appear at first glance like a vast, empty land, but its territory has been inhabited for 6,000 years and it is home to an enormous number of historic sites and natural wonders. Most of them are easily accessible just off of the King’s Highway, which stretches from the capital, Amman, down to Aqaba on the Red Sea. As the country’s only port, Aqaba has long been linked to the legend of Lawrence of Arabia, or T.E. Lawrence, and to the famous 1962 film by Sir David Lean. The massive Aqaba flagpole is, at 131 meters (430 feet), one of the tallest in the world and commemorates the Great Arab Revolt of 1916 against the Ottoman Empire in which Lawrence played a key role. Aqaba is a decidedly quieter place now than in the heyday of revolt, whether one comes for the deepwater dive spots, duty-free shopping or its new high-end residential and resort district. Old Aqaba, with a fort that dates from the era of Christian crusaders, continues to be a wonderfully atmospheric neighborhood. There, after a long day in the desert heat, visitors can seek out a Turkish bath for a massage and scrub or take a break from exploring at any number of cafés that overlook the port.

Aqaba Cruise
When you disembark from your MSC Jordan cruise in Aqaba , you can enjoy its idyllic, sunny setting on the shores of the Red Sea , at the country’s southernmost tip. From something of a dowdy backwater, in the last decade or so Aqaba has transformed itself into a pleasant leisure destination. Hotels at all grades are springing up in the town as well as at luxury waterfront developments up and down the coast.
The city center of Aqaba forms a dense network of streets and alleys clustered just behind the beach road (called the “ Corniche ”).
Some of the best diving and snorkeling in the world is centered on the unspoiled coral reefs that hug the coast just south of the town – an engaging contrast with the nearby desert attractions of Petra and Wadi Rum .
Don't miss out on an unforgettable shore excursion to Petra . Tucked away in a remote valley basin in the heart of southern Jordan’s Shara mountains and shielded from the outside world behind an impenetrable barrier of rock, Petra remains wreathed in mystery.
Since a Western adventurer stumbled on the site in 1812, it has fired imaginations, its grandeur and dramatic setting pushing it into the realms of legend. Today, it’s almost as if time has literally drawn a veil over the once-great city, which grew wealthy enough on the caravan trade to challenge the might of Rome: two millennia of wind and rain have blurred the sharp edges of its ornate classical facades and rubbed away at its soft sandstone to expose vivid bands of colour beneath, putting the whole scene into soft focus.

Aqaba Jordan Port Guide
This ancient port city bustles with trade traffic and an undeniable energy, connecting Jordan with other parts of the world. Aqaba is home to many resorts and beachy activities like windsurfing and snorkeling. Scuba divers will call Aqaba their paradise, where the warmth of the water and crystal visibility make for incredible Red Sea wreck diving.
While stopped in Aqaba on an India cruise , you’ll find historic and cultural activities around every corner. Take a trip beyond Aqaba to the ancient ruins of Petra, an archaeological icon of pink stone that has long been Jordan’s most famous site. Don’t miss Wadi Rum, a famously protected desert where dunes, mountains, and wilderness collide. Stand in awe of the site where Lawrence of Arabia was said to have passed through in the early 20th century. Beyond the natural wonders of this part of Jordan, you’ll find a truly warm-natured city where tradition collides with modern life on your Aqaba cruise.

Top sights & attractions for cruises to aqaba.
You may not have heard of the ancient ruins of Petra before, but you’d definitely know them at first sight. Featured in movie franchises and recognizable for its rose-colored stone, Petra was first occupied by human beings nearly 10,000 years ago, where inhabitants carved the elaborate Treasury into columns, temples, and alters. Tour this UNESCO World Heritage site during your time in Aqaba for an afternoon in the desert you’ll never forget.
Ever wanted to effortlessly float on your back? You can while in the waters of the Dead Sea, one of the saltiest bodies of water in the entire world. You’ll need to plan a day around this, however, since the mouth of the Dead Sea is a three-hour drive from Aqaba.
Arguably, Wadi Rum is the most famous site in Jordan. Head to this natural wonder, called the “Valley of the Moon,” where your admission fee goes toward keeping this incredible site protected. Ride camels into the desert wilderness and take in the chasms and mountain ranges during a half-day excursion. Learn about the culture of the Bedouins and enjoy an Arabian afternoon tea ceremony.
Aqaba Aquarium
Animal and marine lovers must see the species of fish that inhabit the Red Sea and the waters of Jordan. You’ll learn what to expect from wildlife when you swim or snorkel the area and discover the coral system of Aqaba, too. The aquarium is connected to the Aqaba Marine Science Station, a perfect activity for an educational afternoon in Aqaba.
Learn More About Aqaba Shore Excursions
Top things to do in aqaba, snorkel and scuba in the red sea.
Snorkeling in the Red Sea is an essential experience on a cruise to Aqaba, Jordan, where colorful reefs and vibrant sea life miraculously thrive in salty waters. Many of the species here can’t be found in any other body of water in the world. Wrecked tanks and cargo ships contrast against bright coral, making this a feast for divers’ eyes.
See the Ruins of Ayla
Close your eyes and imagine what ancient Aqaba must have looked like thousands of years ago. These ruins were once the site of Aqaba’s central, ancient port. Seeing them offers a step back in time and makes for a quick excursion on the way to other destinations in downtown Aqaba.
Explore Aqaba Fort
In the 12th century, the Crusaders built what are now ruins of the Aqaba Fort, and today you can see these ruins before learning more about the history of this region of Jordan at the Aqaba Archaeological Museum. History buffs on one of our cruises to Jordan shouldn’t miss out on an educational afternoon at the ruins.
Unearth the World’s Oldest Church
Near the ruins of Ayla is a site that scholars consider the oldest Christian church in the world, built in the third century. While you’re touring the other ruins, this church is a must for history buffs and those interested in early Christian artifacts.
Top Food and Drink Spots Near the Aqaba Cruise Port
Aqaba’s culinary scene has a variety of must-try dishes that personify Jordan’s rich history. Of course, there are classics like hummus, falafel, and shawarma which have quickly risen in popularity all over the world for their freshness, but Aqaba cuisine also has tons of surprises. The coffee and tea is different than in other parts of the world. Their special method of preparation makes them more bitter than their Western equivalents. Try kunafa, a traditional filo pastry with delicious, melty goat cheese inside. A filo pastry filled with spinach is another popular variation. Another must-have? The official breakfast of Jordan, called foul, which consists of savory fava beans mashed into a liquid-like dipping sauce with olive oil, lemon, and garlic. Served with hot flatbread, it’s regularly offered as a side dish for every meal in Jordan.
Culture & History of the Aqaba Cruise Port
Aqaba practically opened the country of Jordan to international trade and commerce along the Silk Road, dating back to the occupation of the Ottoman empire during the 14th century. The Turks held control of Jordan until World War I, when various Western nations took over. Eventually, Jordan gained independence in 1946. Today, Aqaba plays a significant part in the Jordanian economy as a central trading port and tourist destination, thanks to incredible sights like Wadi Rum, Petra, and the beautiful Red Sea.
The culture of Aqaba is heavily influenced by the Bedouin population of Jordan and the surrounding regions, specifically the national dance, called the dabke. While on one of our cruises to Jordan, make a point to see live music featuring traditional instruments like the shababa and the Jordanian bagpipes, gerbah. Music is deeply woven into the fabric of Jordan’s history and culture. The people of Jordan value respect and politeness. Be aware that dressing modestly is hugely important during your time in Aqaba, which will show locals that you respect their traditions.
Aqaba Port Facilities & Location
The port of Aqaba is a commercial port, so it’s more focused on trading and unloading than cruise and tourism traffic. You won’t find a terminal or tourism information desk here, but there is a free shuttle service that takes cruise passengers and others to downtown Aqaba, which is about a 15-minute ride away.
Transportation in Aqaba
There are a few main ways to get around while on your cruise to Aqaba, Jordan. Taxis are plentiful on the ground in the city, and you’ll find them easy to hail and generally inexpensive. There are the standard yellow taxis as well as green and blue cars. The public bus system is also efficient for riders, and a one-way ride costs less than one Jordanian Dinar. Note that the desert climate can make walking for long periods difficult. Be sure to schedule regular breaks for water and rest while you’re exploring Aqaba, particularly if you’re visiting during the hotter months.
Shopping Near the Aqaba Cruise Port
Because the Port of Aqaba is a commercial port, Jordan cruise passengers can’t do much shopping here. Venture downtown for the bazaars and restaurants using the complimentary shuttle system at the port. Due to the hot climate, shops regularly close from 2 to 6 pm to escape the heat of the day.
Local Currency & Tipping Customs
The official currency is the Jordanian Dinar (JD). Locals will pronounce this “jay-dee” in conversation, so be aware you’ll probably hear that while shopping or bargaining with vendors. Credit cards are commonly used in Jordan, and there are ATMs throughout the city of Aqaba. The US dollar is commonly accepted when you pay with cash as well. Tip around 10% for guides, taxi drivers, and restaurant servers if there isn’t a service charge already included in your bill. Generally, tipping isn’t a big practice in Jordan.

Mediterranean tour to Israel, Jordan, and Egypt 17 days
The tour was better than expected. We had a different driver and guide everyday. Some guides were better than others but overall, the cost and value of the tour was reasonable. Tipping was an issue as we felt we were constantly asked for tips. On one tour, we did not have any small bills to leave the guide but he still chased us down for a tip. The hotel in Jerusalem, Petra and Cairo were not centrally located therefore we had to pay for a taxi every time we wanted to leave the hotel to shop, walk around, or get a meal.
Israel, Jordan and Egypt with Nile Cruise 14 days
Drivers were very very dangerous Tour itinerary verses booked was different from actual Bathroom cleanliness of visited locations was horrible and unmanaged Times of daily pickups were almost all off by 15 to 45 minutes; yet, we were asked to be on time and early There was not a day’s break in the 12 day itinerary to rest, relax, and enjoy the hotel amenities. Tour needs more overall perspective to “vacation rest and relaxation” verses each daily tour had no clue of the prior or upcoming day’s times and agenda. It was non stop activity. Safety was excellent in comforting us All in all was very enjoyable, met expectations, but could have been “great” if above was improved.

We used TourRadar for a 19 days trip to Israel, Jordan and Egypt. Setting up and process was easy. They were very responsive and quick to resolve any issues.

River cruises in egypt, jordan and israel reviews.
Unfortunately didn't get to do the Israel, Jiordan part due to the current situation there!! However the Egypt part was amazing! Incredibly well organised!! Amazing service and knowledge from the tour guides!! Help getting through Cairo Airport on arrival was outstanding!! Would definately use Tourrader again and reccommend to everyone
The tour was booked in early 2023, before the tragic events in Israel. On our request, the travel company (Bookingtours based in Israel) changed our itinerary to make it risk-free. Quite a complex itinerary (Jordan, a liitle bit of Israel and Egypt), including 3 flights and 2 land border-crossings, turned to be incredible. It all magically worked, and we had an unforgettable holiday.
The tour itself was great. Everything as promised. The only issue we had was crossing into Egypt from Elat Israel where Egyptian authorities took my son's $500 CDN telephoto lens for his Canon camera which we have not been able to get back. It was supposed to be shipped to Cairo International airport but nobody at the airport had a clue how to help us. It's apparently OK to have a telephoto lens in Egypt but not when crossing the Sinai peninsula by automobile. We should have been warned in advance that this was an issue in which case he would not have brought it on the trip.
