The luxury camp was amazing. The inside of the tent was beautiful and luxurious. The food at the dining tent was incredible. The truck ride to the camp scary but exciting. The staff was helpful and very friendly . I would highly recommend it .

The South Beach is located at a short drive from downtown Aqaba and is well worth the drive. One can clearly see parts of Israel and Egypt behind the Red Sea from the South Beach. The South Beach offers opportunities for snorkeling to see the beautiful coral reefs under the Red Sea. Those who are not into snorkeling can find some glass bottom boats or submarine boat to view the coral reefs. Indeed South Beach is an awesome place to visit.

Berenice Beach provides a good opportunity to see the Red Sea corals that are close to the beach. You can also swim to the Japanese Gardens that is a few hundred metres out, to snorkel the area. Berenice Beach provides changing rooms, showers, towel, pools and restaurants that are all included in the entry price. Unlike the Dead Sea hotels that provide expensive access to the beach with restricted facilities, access to the Berenice Beach is reasonable.
