When fantasy, sun and sea meet
the charms and atmosphere of
antiquity, the visitor can find
himself, at any time of the
year, at the 13th century Red
Sea resort of Aqaba, which was
in ancient times, the main port
for shipments from the Red Sea
to the Far East, known by the
names of Aila, Ailana, Elana,
Ailath, Elath, Ayla and Wayla.
For relaxation, water sports,
and winter warmth, Aqaba is
warm, sunny and inviting,
fringed with palm trees, lapped
by the crystal clear waters of
the Gulf of Aqaba, cooled by a
steady northerly breeze, and
ringed by mountains that change
in color with the change of the
hours. Snorkeling, water skiing,
wind surfing, para-sailing,
fishing and a variety of other
water sports, including
unsurpassed
scuba
diving are just some
of the popular activities to
partake in.
