 Aqaba Bay is renowned for its diverse aquatic wildlife. Located in the northeast of the Red Sea, its Gulf extends 180 km and is 25 km wide, along a coastline shared by Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and occupied Palestine.  

 Aqaba Bay is home to the largest marine coral ecosystem in the northernmost part of the globe. With a water temperature of 23 degrees Celsius, storm-free weather, and moderate currents, Aqaba Bay provides an ideal environment for thriving marine coral. 

 The moderation of its salinity makes it the perfect place for a wide variety of marine organisms. Aqaba Bay is home to 110 species of soft corals and 120 species of hard corals. The Gulf's complex coral reefs contain over a thousand species of fish, corals, crustaceans, and mammals.
