Marsa Zayed, which was named in memory of the Late Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, is a 3.2 million sqm development including 2 km of waterfront. It is the biggest real estate and tourism project to take place in the history of Jordan, as well as one of the most significant developments in the region coupling epic proportions with admirable levels of responsible and ethical development principles that will see the environment retain its place of importance.

Several marinas will add to the current berthing capacity, which will transform Aqaba into a premier yachting destination; in addition to a state of-the-art cruise ship terminal, which will become one of Jordan’s touristic landmarks and a welcoming gateway to Aqaba.
