How to spend my 2nd in Aqaba
Save

Hi,

Is it possible to suggest how best to spend a second day in Aqaba (and my last day in Jordan)? Some background before any suggestions:

My first day in Aqaba is planned for diving which I understand will be between 9:00am and 4:00am.

I'm keen on taking part in one or possibly two of the below water based activities which are new to me:

Parasailing

Paragliding

Waterskiing

Jetskiing

Has anyone had experience of these activities and if so a rough cost of each?

Also if possible any advice on what how to prepare for the above activites would be appreicated?

I appreciate any suggestions.

Regards,

Alex.

Hi Khamila,

Thanks for the suggestions.

I'm guessing I don't really need a licensed tour guide for these attractions.

I haven't looked at them on Google maps but are they all accessible on foot?

Also are you aware of any entrance fees for any of the attractions?

Thanks,

Alex.

No, you not need a guide, I did it self and found everything without problem. Oh yes, a little problem it was with the ancient church, but at finish I found it anyway, it is there around Jordan express tourist transport - you will see it on the map here - https://goo.gl/maps/YsPXCL8ikxQ2

I not paid any fee somewhere so it is OK

By the pole it is a cafe where I sat and relaxed, wonderful view it was there over the sea
