More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You climb into a rugged Land Cruiser at first light and the asphalt falls away — the desert opens like an unfolded map, sharp ridgelines angling toward the Gulf of Aqaba. Wind picks up sand and the jeep answers with a steady thrum, carrying you inland to Wadi Qunai where narrow canyons funnel cool spring water into small emerald basins known locally as the Three Pools.

Start early
Morning departures avoid peak heat and offer calmer water for snorkeling; aim to leave around 7–8 AM.
Use reef‑safe sunscreen
Protect skin and marine life by choosing mineral-based sunscreens and applying before arrival at the pools.
Wear closed‑toe shoes for approaches
Stony, uneven paths from the jeep to viewpoints and pools require stable shoes; sandals are fine at the water but not on the approach.
Bring a snorkel mask or rent one
Masks vary in fit; bringing your own ensures comfort and better visibility in the shallow pools.
