Good nice beach but AVOID on Fridays when thousands local families come for a picnic - tons of rubbish, kids chasing you or even throwing pebbles at foreign woman (actually happened to my wife)

The water was crystal clear. The beach was very clean. The glass boats(with a glassed floor) were nice and colourful, and for about 15JD(price negotiable), you could enjoy the sea ride and view some shipwrecks on the sea bottom. The mountains surrounding Aqaba are a sight! Camel rides along the waterline are an option, and the sunset was just spectacular!

Unfortunately the city beach isn't clean and pleasure for tourists. There are lots of local peaople and you even can't undress coz it attracts lots of men attention. It's better to have a rest on the South Beach

There is no city beach, where you can swim. All the beaches are private or just for boats and local people, not for turists.
