Ayla Oasis Development Company (Ayla) created the blueprint for the development of Ayla, an ambitious waterfront development in Aqaba that resides on 17 kilometers of new waterfront and covers space 4,300,000m² of picture-perfect landscapes. The development is expected to play a key role in enabling the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority (ASEZA) to achieve its vision of transforming the seaport into a world-class business hub and travel destination. The community will include stunning man-made lagoons, contemporary residential and commercial developments, retail stores aimed at promoting locally made products, 5-star and boutique hotels, a world-class marina, as well as Jordan’s first 18-hole signature golf course, designed by Greg Norman. To sustain the project’s success, Ayla has launched a series of balanced and sustainable initiatives in Aqaba that focus on talent development, job creation, and social inclusion. The initiatives include bringing hospitality training and qualification programs to schools across the city. With construction in the works, Ayla is fully committed to creating extraordinary experiences for its residents and guests, bringing Aqaba to the forefront of the region’s tourism industry.
