offeringsAqaba is not only attracting
attention for its stunning dunes, but also for its marine offerings, said Time
magazine. The Gulf of Aqaba's Marine Park aims to preserve the area's
diverse marine biosphere, which includes coral reefs, 19 dive sites, and underwater
walking experiences. Glass-bottom boat tours also offer visitors an opportunity
to explore the park without getting wet, it added.
"The Port of Aqaba anticipates
a 25 percent increase in passenger ships for 2023, including an inaugural visit
from luxury cruise line Windstar. From the mega ships of
MSC Cruises to
superyacht Emerald Azzurra, sailing the Middle East demands a part of call at
the tip of the Red Sea where four countries meet," said the article.
Time magazine compiled their
"World's Greatest Places" list by soliciting nominations from their
international network of correspondents and contributors, with a focus on
destinations offering new and exciting experiences.
