Aqaba Aquarium

This aquarium is part of the Aqaba Marine Science Station, although its location in the shadow of the ferry terminal doesn't make you feel particularly close to nature. Over a series of large and small tanks, you're introduced to the variety of fish and corals in the Gulf of Aqaba, and get a good picture of what you might see when snorkelling or scuba diving, from colourful parrotfish to reef sharks.
