Ayla Oasis is a $1.4 billion real estate development project inAqaba,Jordan. The development aims to create a "luxurious waterfront community" on the shores of theRed 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.
