Aqaba taking Jordan along for the ride

Aqaba is now officially the site of one of the largest infrastructure developments in the Middle East region, and certainly the largest development ever undertaken in Jordan’s history. Marsa Zayed is a mammoth project worth $10 billion and on its own is expected to more than double Jordan’s tourist revenues. Marsa Zayed is one in a long list of significant developments taking place in Aqaba, which is set to become the premier tourist destination of the country and a leading destination in the Gulf, but this project is notable for its sheer size.

Marsa Zayed envisions a marina development with room for 300 yachts and a cruise ship terminal all surrounded by a mixture of hotel, resort and luxury apartment complexes. The entire project is slated for completion in several years time, when Jordan first signed the development deal with Al Mabaar, a UAE-based real estate firm, in 2008, Jordan news media reported that it would be completed in 2013.
