Aqaba & the Jordanian Red Sea, Jordan

A single stretch of coastline where you can dive a coral reef in the morning and stand at the point where four countries meet by afternoon, wrecks sunk deliberately for divers to explore, and a desert just inland that turns pink and gold as the sun drops.

The best time to visit Aqaba & the Jordanian Red Sea is Oct–Apr, when typical daytime highs reach about 33°C (91°F).
