The fourth annual Ayla Marina Boat Show took place in Aqaba, Jordan.
The two-day event, which took place on the third weekend of May, featured over 60 local and international boats on display.
Ayla Marina Boat Show is organized by Ayla Oasis Development Company in partnership with the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority.
The show falls within Ayla’s broader marine sector growth strategy, which aims to develop Aqaba as a tourism hub for the nautical sector.
“We are proud of the growth and success achieved by the Ayla Marina Boat Show in its fourth edition, as it has become a specialized marine platform bringing together leading entities operating within the marine sector alongside boating and marine services enthusiasts. This year’s edition reflects the exhibition’s notable growth in terms of participation and attendance, further positioning Aqaba as a promising regional hub for marine services and marine tourism,” said Mansour Alkabarity, Public Relations Manager at Ayla Oasis Development Company
Ayla Marina is Jordan’s largest leisure marine facility, accommodating 231 berths for vessels up to 40 meters in length. The marina is expected to add an additional 104 in future expansion plans.
The marina’s services include the issuing of permits and licensing, water pump out, and fuel services. In 2025, it received a 5 Gold Anchor Accreditation by The Yacht Harbour Association (TYHA) after the completion of the Gold Anchor Assessment. This marks the second award by TYHA to Ayla Marina, who was previously granted a Clean Marina Award after joining TYHA in 2024. Ayla Marina is the first marina in Jordan to receive both awards.
