The Ayla Marina Boat Show, Jordan’s only boating event, will return for its fourth edition this year.
The show, taking place at Aqaba’s Ayla Oasis resort, will occupy its usual end of date from the 22-23rd of May.
Organizers say it is poised to be bigger in scale than events of the past, with 30 Egyptian vessels set to be on display. Exhibitors from Turkey and the UAE are expected to be in attendance.
Ayla Marina is Jordan’s largest and only superyacht marina, accommodating 231 wet berths for vessels up to 40 meters in length. The property was accredited with a “Clean Marina” distinction by The Yacht Harbour Association in 2025.
The marinas services include the issuing of permits and licensing, water pump out and fuel services.
At the 2025 Abu Dhabi Maritime Awards, Ayla’s Adel Maani received the silver award for “Outstanding Leader.” The development was prized with the audience-voted “Most Popular Marina” in the 2024 edition of the ceremony.
