Overview

This aqaba diving tour pairs four days in the Red Sea with two of Jordan's great desert sights. You land in Amman, base yourself in Aqaba for guided dives at the city's best reefs and wrecks, then trade fins for a 4x4 in Wadi Rum and finish with a full visit to Petra. Diving equipment, a dive guide and transport are all arranged for you.

Day 1 is arrival in Amman. On day 2 you drive south to Aqaba and make your first dive that afternoon. Days 3 to 5 are full diving days with two dives each, followed by lunch at the dive club. Day 6 starts with a free morning for snorkeling or the beach, then a jeep tour in Wadi Rum and a night in Petra. Day 7 is Petra, from the Siq to the Treasury and the Royal Tombs, before the drive back to Amman. Day 8 is your airport transfer.

The trip suits divers who want real time underwater, not a single token dive squeezed into a sightseeing tour. Eight days gives you a relaxed rhythm: settle in, dive four days in a row, then dry out on land before you fly, which most divers prefer anyway. Non-divers traveling with a diving partner can still enjoy Aqaba's beaches, Wadi Rum and Petra on this aqaba diving tour.

You are met at Queen Alia International Airport in Amman and transferred to your hotel. Hotels are on a bed and breakfast basis, and you choose 3-star, 4-star or 5-star hotels on the booking form, either per person in a double room for 2 or more travelers or a single room if you travel solo. A lower child rate applies on the double room options, and the form shows the exact price for your hotel level and number of travelers. The tour departs daily, subject to availability. Because the hotels are pre-paid, this aqaba diving tour is non-refundable. Short on time?

You pick 3-star, 4-star or 5-star hotels on the booking form, and the form shows the exact price for your hotel level and number of travelers.

How many dives are included?

The program plans one dive on the afternoon of day 2 and two dives a day on days 3, 4 and 5, at around 10:00 and 14:00. That adds up to seven planned dives at different sites, from the Cedar Pride wreck to coral gardens. Sea conditions can affect the exact plan on the day.

Do I need a diving certification?

The supplier's description does not list a certification level, so please tell us your certification and number of logged dives when you book. That way the dive center can plan the right sites for you. If you are not yet certified, contact us before booking so we can check the options.

Where does the tour start and end?

The tour starts and ends at Queen Alia International Airport in Amman. You are met on arrival on day 1 and taken back to the airport after breakfast on day 8. Book your flights to arrive on day 1 and leave on day 8.

Do I need a visa for Jordan?

Bring a passport that is valid for your whole stay. The Jordan visa, departure tax and any border taxes are not included in the price, so keep cash ready for them. We need your nationality, passport number, issue and expiry dates and date of birth to confirm the booking.

Which hotels will I stay in?

You spend one night in Amman, four nights in Aqaba, one night in Petra and a final night in Amman, all with breakfast. You choose the hotel level, 3-star, 4-star or 5-star, when you book. Hotel names are sent with your confirmation.

Can children join?

Yes. A lower child rate is available on the double room options, and the booking form shows it. Diving has its own age and certification rules, so please contact us before booking for children who plan to dive.

How fit do I need to be?

You should be comfortable with two dives a day and a fair amount of walking in Petra, where the route through the Siq and to the tombs covers several kilometers on uneven ground. Wadi Rum is done by 4x4. Note that the supplier says no insurer covers accidents involving horses or other animals.

When is the best time to dive in Aqaba?

Aqaba can be dived all year. Spring and autumn are the most comfortable for combining diving with Petra and Wadi Rum. Summer is hot on land, and winter evenings in the desert can be cold, so pack warm layers from November to March. Our Israel, Jordan and Egypt travel guide has more planning tips.

Can I cancel or change my booking?

This package is non-refundable because the hotel nights are pre-paid as soon as you book. If your plans change, please contact us and we will check whether other dates are possible, subject to availability. Full details are in our booking terms.
