    A 20 km stretch of coast around Aqaba offers some of the world's best diving and snorkelling sites. The coast of Aqaba is considered as one of the most beautiful in the world because of its transparency and a variety of corals, sea life and mild climate. Aqaba became a popular diving site only in recent years, and has managed to avoid deterioration of its coral reefs. Most of the diving sites are located in Aqaba's south coast. Popular among them are the First Bay, and Abdullah Reef.
