About Japanese Garden Aqaba
Japanese Garden Aqaba is a shallow coral garden in Aqaba Marine Park with easy shore access. The reef starts very close to the surface and rolls gently into deeper coral and sand, so snorkelers and scuba divers can both work the site without a complicated route. Nearby dive centers and beach parking keep the logistics simple, and the shallow profile suits relaxed sightseeing, photography, and easy reef time. Angelfish, parrotfish, lionfish, morays, clownfish, damselfish, and hawksbill turtles are common sightings.
