Walking in nature is such a pleasure in Jordan due to the many nature and eco reserves available from north to south but also because of the very special trails and initiatives which were set-up to support local communities on the way.   Trails also vary from lush oak forests to semi-arid and desert that are all unique in their own way.  Imagine a walk in nature stumbling on ancient archeology and being greeted along the way by the local communities inviting you in for tea or to even have lunch.   While there are all types of walks in Jordan from mild to difficult, there are also options for serious hikes, and hiking trails are marvelous.  Canyoning and climbing are also fun.   Wadi Rum boasts some of the most exciting climbing in Jordan to include free climbing.
There are other activities in Jordan such as Bird watching and Scuba Diving.  Let us know your interest by contacting us and we will do our best to accommodate your every need.

Bird Watching:

Bird-watchers from all over the world have started organising weeklong trips to Jordan to enjoy the sight of some rare species of indigenous birds and others that migrate annually between the northern and southern hemispheres. Jordan’s location at the crossroads of Europe, Asia and Africa means that birds from these three continents can sometimes be spotted in the same general area in Jordan. Special bird watching sites in Jordan are mainly located at Al Azraq and Mujib Reserves.

Aqaba Scuba Diving:

There are special diving sites in Jordan on different depths and suitable for all levels where the coral is said to be next to none in the region.   As you may know the Red Sea water temperature never drop below 19 degrees centigrade.

The Principal Reefs and Dive Sites of Aqaba:

POWER STATION – Located 5 Kms south of Aqaba town. Swim over fringing reef which drops down to 5m with sand and patch reef, from where reef slopes down to 20m and drops away to 200m. Swim down over the wall edge to depth of 30m and swim south.

FIRST BAY – From try dives to technical diving – this site provides for all – Diving south from the mooring you find a cabbage coral at 18m on the corner of the reef follow the wall back to the north and follow the contour of the reef. (For tec divers continue straight out to Death Valley starting at 50m and then south to Walter’s Wall and George’s Gulley which drops to 80m plus). The normal dive continues to the North where you will pass over a wide expanse of coral with black coral trees and come to a sandy gulley, follow this back up to 12m and work your way back across the reefs to the mooring.

CAZAR REEF– Next to the Marine Reserve and also the location of Club Murjan, the Alcazar’s beach club. Enter at south side of gully edging down to 18m, lots of Cornet fish and Fusiliers, a cabbage coral marks the corner of the reef. Swim northwards over some large black corals to a pinnacle at 17m covered in soft coral.

EEL GARDEN – Site of the famous ” pinnacle ” – Named after the myriads of garden eels resident in the sand and grass areas here. One of the largest populations in the Red Sea! This provides an excellent area for photography. There is a sandy slope down to 20m (covered in garden eels – you need to stay still for them to appear) where there is a fantastic display of black corals.

KING ABDULLAH REEF – Approx 5 mins drive from the Club in an area known as the Tourist Camp. Enter the site through a maze of fringing reef with fantastic displays of Fire coral. Drop down to 5m and follow slope down to 12m to a large pinnacle full of a variety of marine life. Head across the sand to a large circular reef with a Gorgonia Fan coral in centre.

BLACK ROCK – The northern side of Wreck Bay, adjacent to the former Tourist Camp. Entry at a gravel and shingle point, swim out and pick up the reef on the right and swim down to the planned depth, usually around 25m. Heading north there are immense coral slopes and valleys with large black coral “bushes”. This is frequented by Hawksbill turtles.

THE WRECK OF THE CEDAR PRIDE – A Lebanese freighter scuttled in 1983 which now hosts a wide variety of hard and soft corals. She is intact and lies across two reefs on her port side. Divers can swim under her at 27m. She can take several dives to fully appreciate and is an excellent night dive. It is also the site for beautiful sea horses.
