The low average temperature for the month is 14°C, with the highest temperature standing at around 23°C. December records one rainy day throughout the month with an average precipitation of 4mm. With the sea temperature reaching 24°C, spending time in beaches can be relaxing and especially in the afternoon hours. However, Naama Bay is a perfect place for any activity despite the fact that day time can be a bit hot with the desert dust becoming somewhat unbearable especially during the dry months.
Visiting St Catherine Monastery - one of the oldest places for worship associated with the orthodox Christians offers a good indoor excursion. Another great activity that you must not miss is a visit to the mountain where Moses received the Ten Commandments. Climbing Mount Sinai can be such an amazing experience as you ascend the over 500 steps to the top of this historical mountain.
There is however no any other better way to spend your days in Naama Bay than swimming, sunbathing and diving in the white and sandy Tiran Island. The Island is famed for its lagoons, crystal clear blue water and spending your days under the clear blue sky will surely be relaxing. The colourful coral reefs around the Tiran Island also provide the visitors with the best excuse to escape the desert atmosphere and delve deeper into the Gulf of Aqaba.
Hotel Falcon Hills is a good budget friendly option with good facilities, a large pool, and a Jacuzzi. Located in Ras Um Sid Plateau, the hotel is within a short walking distance to the underwater park which is famous for snorkelling and scuba diving.
