The Aqaba marine park is located along the southern coast of the Jordanian portion of the Gulf of Aqaba. It is approximately 7Km in length, stretching form the southern boundary of the passenger terminal in the north to the southern boundary of the public security officers club in the south.

On the terrestrial side, the park boundary extends 50m east of the mean high water mark, and on the marine side, the park extends to either the 70m bathymetric contour line, or to 350m westward from the mean high water mark.

Extensive coral communities in the form of fringing reefs dominate the 7km long marine park coastline. A number of mollusks, echinoderms, algae, amphipods and fish are endemic to the Gulf of Aqaba. The shallow reef structures provide habitats for multitude of reef fish and organisms.

The northern tip of the gulf has seen repeated visits of whale sharks, dolphins, barracuda, and jacks.

Aqaba has many other activities as well.  There's an old shopping area, souvenir shops, Bazar, and many others.
