Ayla Oasis & Marina Village
واحة أيلة
A new seaside resort built around an artificial lagoon, with a marina village, restaurants, a golf course and hotels.
Ayla Oasis is a large new development on the northwest coast of Aqaba. It is built around an artificial lagoon and includes Marina Village, a harbour town; a seaside beach; an 18-hole golf course; hotels such as the Hyatt; and residential areas. Marina Village has cafés, restaurants and shops selling Bedouin-style souvenirs. The area is clean and well kept, and it is pleasant for an evening walk and dinner. It is about 5 km from the city centre, so most visitors take a taxi. Some facilities charge a fee or are restricted to hotel guests.
