Abstract

A touristic program about the efforts made by the Jordanian government to serve tourists and improve the tourist sector. Many tourists come to Jordan from Scandinavia, with them we get to know the Aqaba as a coastal and touristic city. Its infrastructure helps to increase the number of tourists there: Hotel services, restaurants, beaches, cafés, boats, sports such as diving and water skiing,. From a diving trip, tourists get to know about coral and marine life. They also enjoy hot weather, clean sand, quietness and good food. Before reaching Al Aqaba there is Ras Annakab which overlooks Wadi Rum and Al Aqaba . Tourists also enjoy the desert’s beauties, the city of Petra, the Nabatiyeh’s myth, cemeteries and other ruins from the Nabati period.
