Been only to the airport but from the plane this area looked pretty arid.
You can probably get to Aqaba which is on the red-sea in a few hours drive. Maybe they have flights, if so they are probably no longer than 1 hour.
A friend of mine who dove in Aqaba had only good things to say. Saw a picture of a really nice wreck which should be freedive-able (20-30m).
Petra is considered as a touristic destination (if you're into world-heritage old ruins), should be close to Aqaba.
