Liwa Qasabat Al Aqaba

The Liwa Qasabat al-Aqaba district sits along the Gulf of Aqaba in southern Jordan. The region’s coastline is anchored by the city of Aqaba and the broader coast facing the Red Sea, with arid desert scenery inland. Diving within this administrative area is limited by the Gulf of Aqaba’s shallow coastal waters and the proximity to established diving hubs in Aqaba city; most notable diving occurs near the more developed dive centers in the governorate’s coastal belt rather than inside the district boundary itself. Expect warm, clear waters with moderate visibility and a range of marine life typical of the northern Red Sea, including reef-associated species and occasional pelagics. Access is driven by road from Aqaba city, airport connections in the region, and day trips from the city’s dive centers. The region serves as a gateway to the broader Gulf of Aqaba diving corridor, but the district itself has a more limited, practical diving scope compared to the wider Gulf area.
