An imposing full stop at the end of the bay, the InterCon boasts less of an infinity pool than an infinity sea: on a calm day, the Gulf of Aqaba stretches in one seamless ripple all the way to Egypt.

Providing the kind of practical service that has made this chain a favourite throughout the Middle East, and with six restaurants and a shopping arcade among its many amenities, you won’t want to move on in a hurry.
