The location is great ,at the center
We had a wonderful stay at this hotel, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful from the moment we checked in، the room was spacious and very comfortable, we really appreciated the attention to detail (there was a daily supply of water bottles). Also the location is perfect! Being right in the city center and within walking distance of all shops which made our stay too easy. We almost didn't need to take a taxi except for going to ayla oasis and chinese market which costed us 2-3 jod per way. Breakfast buffet was also great. We would definitely return to this hotel on our next stay to the city.

As Saadeh
Seasonal guide to help you plan the perfect trip to in Aqaba
Fall
Spring and Fall (milder weather, peak diving visibility and comfortable daytime temperatures).
Summer (hotter days reduce international demand, so many hotels drop rates).
March through May — mild daytime temperatures (low 20s–high 20s °C / mid 70s–high 80s °F), calm seas and very good underwater visibility. Ideal for combining beach, diving and day trips to Petra and Wadi Rum.
Local cultural festivals typically held in summer months feature music, folklore performances, crafts and food stalls celebrating Aqaba’s heritage and seaside culture. Exact dates vary year to year.
Ramadan is observed across Jordan (dates shift yearly). Business hours change, daytime eating/drinking in public is limited, and the pace of life slows. Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha are major holiday periods with travel spikes and many family gatherings.
Key national holidays (e.g., Independence Day) can mean parades, public events and school holidays—plan ahead for possible crowds or closures during these times.
Aqaba is arid and sunny year-round. Bring strong sun protection (broad-spectrum sunscreen, hat, sunglasses), light breathable clothing for the day and a light jacket for cooler winter evenings. In summer, schedule outdoor activities for early morning or late afternoon. For sea activities, consider a short wetsuit in winter and spring if you get cold easily. Check wind forecasts if planning sailing or kitesurfing.
Aqaba hotel and activity prices fluctuate with international tourist seasons, local holiday periods (especially around Ramadan, Eid and Jordanian public holidays), and diving/boat-season demand. Mid- to higher-end hotels raise rates in the milder months when visitors combine beach time with inland sightseeing (Spring and Fall). Summer sees lower room rates at many properties but higher demand from domestic travelers and families, which can still push prices at popular resorts. Special events (regional festivals or holiday weekends) and international diving liveaboard departures also cause short spikes. Package prices for diving, snorkeling and boat trips are steadier but climb during holidays and on weekends. Book 2–3 months ahead for Spring/Fall travel; for popular diving schools or liveaboards, book 3–6 months in advance.
Insider advice to help you make the most of your visit
Aqaba is compact and easy to navigate. Options include taxis, rental cars, intercity buses, domestic flights to Aqaba (AQJ) and border crossings to Israel/Eilat at the Wadi Araba (Yitzhak Rabin) crossing.
Combine Aqaba with a road trip to Petra and Wadi Rum for maximum value; fly into Aqaba or Amman depending on your route. For diving, prioritize bookings with PADI/SSI-certified operators, ask about boat licensing and group size, and time dives for early morning for the best visibility and calmer seas. Carry some JOD cash for small purchases—cards are widely accepted in larger hotels and restaurants but smaller vendors often prefer cash.
