Ayla Oasis Development Company has finalized its preparations to host the third edition of the Ayla Marina Boat Show, taking place this Friday and Saturday under the patronage of H.E. Eng. Shadi Al-Majali, Chief Commissioner of the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority.

The exhibition will be open to the public free of charge and will serve as a premier destination for boat enthusiasts and industry professionals to explore the latest innovations and developments in the maritime services sector. Ayla Marina’s technical teams have completed final arrangements to welcome guests, display vessels and equipment, and prepare interactive exhibition zones.

The show aims to promote growth in the marine sector and boost tourism activity by highlighting global best practices and offering visitors access to top innovations and services provided by leading marine institutions, suppliers, and financing entities.

To enrich the visitor experience, the event will feature a variety of entertainment and interactive activities, including free boat trips, exclusive previews of new boat models introduced for the first time in Jordan, and virtual reality (VR) experiences showcasing marine life, diving environments, and family-friendly attractions that make the marine world more exciting and accessible.

The exhibition reaffirms Ayla’s commitment to excellence, service quality, and delivering unique offerings for its visitors, while reinforcing its position as a world-class, sustainable destination. It also highlights Aqaba’s environmental, social, and economic advantages and supports Jordan’s broader strategy for economic growth, particularly in high value-added sectors.

Commenting on the event, Eng. Sahl Dudin, CEO of Ayla Oasis Development Company, said:
“We’ve completed all preparations to welcome guests to this exceptional edition of the Boat Show, which we expect will attract a large turnout of boat owners, enthusiasts, maritime service professionals, and key players from the finance, logistics, and supplier sectors, alongside the general public.”

He emphasized that Ayla aims to offer a platform through this exhibition that facilitates direct interaction between institutions, boat owners, and potential buyers. The event also provides a space for meaningful engagement and discussions that help stimulate this promising market—particularly in terms of marketing services—and encourage wider audiences to explore the world of boating and the marine lifestyle.

Dudin further noted that this major event in Aqaba is designed to support the boating industry at both national and regional levels, raise public awareness, and promote marine culture. The exhibition serves as a key platform to introduce audiences to boating-related themes, including environmental responsibility and maritime safety, in an interactive and accessible manner.

The Ayla Marina Boat Show reflects Ayla’s long-term strategy to enhance tourism activity and strengthen Jordan’s maritime services industry. Over two days, the show will bring together boating and yachting enthusiasts with logistics providers, suppliers, and financial institutions, offering them the opportunity to explore new trends, form strategic partnerships, and enrich marine, tourism, and associated service sectors.
