Aqaba & Dead Sea | When Klein Blue meets pink sunset.
Aqaba is a seaside city at the southernmost tip of Jordan, which is very suitable for leisure and vacation. If I had enough time, I would spend 2 days in Aqaba and 1 day in the Dead Sea.
🗺️My weekend trip route
Day 1: Amman➡️Petra➡️Aqaba
Day 2: Aqaba➡️Dead Sea
🌈Aqaba
🚗About 4.5 hours' drive from Amman, about 2 hours' drive from Petra
1️⃣JETT Bus, 10 JOD/person
There are many buses, and you can buy tickets at JETT Bus Station, Abdali. But the bus is not very fast, so it takes a little longer
2️⃣Self-driving
About CNY 250-350/day, you can use a translation + passport
Jordan is left-hand drive, and the driving experience is quite friendly except that the locals drive more fiercely and there are more ups and downs
🏠Hotel recommendation
InterContinental Aqaba, an IHG Hotel
➡️CNY 1500-2500/night (of course there are more expensive room types)
✅Private beach + invincible sea view, very suitable for blowing the sea breeze in the room, lying on the beach to watch the blue sea, swimming in the sun, walking to the beach to watch the sunset of the Red Sea
✅Aqaba is a diving resort, in addition to coral reefs, there are underwater planes, underwater tanks, it's a pity that I didn't have enough time to go diving this time
🍜Restaurant recommendation
Azaz Caborya seafood restaurant
➡️I highly recommend their grilled fish, which is very tender and the sauce is also good. The other seafood is average
🌈Dead Sea
Because I didn't have enough time, I didn't choose to go to the resort to float. I found a shore and walked directly to the Dead Sea to watch the sunset. Perhaps because of the influence of salt crystals, the Dead Sea seen from the shore in the evening is blue-green and white, and the sunset of the Dead Sea is pink, which is very soft🌅
🚗About 1 hour's drive from Amman
📍My water point: Spiaggia di Sale
There are few tourists, and there are simple showers nearby for people who float in the wild to wash
⚠️The parking point is a certain distance from the sea, but the salt crystals along the way are also very special, but the crystals are very sharp, be careful not to be scratched
