Because Aqaba has a desert climate, the month of December can be cold, dry and windy. It is essential that you pack all the necessary clothing to warm you up as you tour this beautiful coastal city, which is also Jordan's only sea harbour.
The temperature at this month varies, but the city's highest temperature has an average of 21.8°C or 71.2°F. The lowest average temperature is around 10.3°C or 50.5°F.
Make sure that you always wear layers of clothing, especially when you are not used to this weather.
Diving is still available to those who are brave enough to weather the cold waters. The water temperature ranges about 22°C or 71.6°F, so one should wear a full or dry suit with hood. Visibility is still clear, so you don't need to worry about not seeing the amazing plants and creatures as you snorkel or dive.
As the year comes to a close, Aqaba will amuse its residents and tourists by having a Stand Up Comedy Festival. This will be a pioneering event for Jordan; the country will feature only the best comedians from both the local and the international scene.
Aqaba is certainly a place that everyone can enjoy throughout the year, regardless of the weather.
