Ayla Oasis

Ayla Oasis is a $1.4 billion real estate development project in Aqaba, Jordan. The development aims to create a "luxurious waterfront community" on the shores of the Red Sea. The project covers an area of approximately 17 square kilometres (6.6 sq mi) and has residential, commercial, and leisure facilities.[1][2] Ayla Oasis is centered around a marina and a golf course.

The development, which involved the construction of man-made seawater lagoons to create additional waterfronts,[3][4] features villas, apartments, and (as of 2018) two hotels.[5] The architecture and design of the development incorporate elements of modern and traditional Greek styles.

The property, which has retail outlets, restaurants, cafes, bars, recreational facilities, leisure and entertainment amenities, also has a marina. This marina, which has berthing facilities for yachts and boats,[6] reportedly received environmental and safety awards in 2024.[7]

Ayla's golf course was designed by Greg Norman and opened in 2017.[8] The 18-hole course overlooks the Red Sea and surrounding mountains. The golf club also has golf academy facilities.[9] The course has previously hosted the Jordan Open Golf Championship.[10]
