Dudin: Government Incentive Package Boosts Real Estate Investment and Supports Economic Activities in Aqaba Eng. Sahel Dudin, CEO of Ayla Oasis Development Company—one of the largest real estate projects in the region—affirmed that the decisions made by the Council of Ministers on Sunday, which include new benefits and incentives for the real estate sector in Aqaba, will positively impact various economic activities, particularly real estate. These incentives will also enhance confidence in Aqaba's investment environment by reinforcing the attractiveness and leadership of its market. اضافة اعلان Eng. Dudin explained that the new package of governmental incentives and benefits is aimed at transforming Aqaba into a world-class destination for tourism and investment. It seeks to strengthen Aqaba's position by facilitating and encouraging long-term residency for foreign investors and easing their investment journey. The initiative also aims to enhance the competitiveness of the Aqaba Special Economic Zone and establish an integrated, sustainable real estate ecosystem supported by attractive legislation. This, in turn, aligns with the Kingdom's comprehensive economic growth plans as outlined in the Economic Modernization Vision and the Integrated Urban Plan for Aqaba. He further highlighted that Ayla Oasis Development Company has laid out a comprehensive, long-term vision to build a sustainable destination that showcases Aqaba's environmental, social, and economic advantages. Today, Ayla stands as a leading project contributing to Aqaba's investment vision by attracting both local and international capital. It also strengthens the appeal of the real estate market and cements Aqaba's position as a global investment destination, thanks to its advanced infrastructure and flexible regulatory framework. Dudin added that these government decisions are geared toward supporting growth rates, as Aqaba plays a key role in stimulating the economy across high value-added sectors such as tourism, real estate, and logistics, among others. These incentives for the real estate sector coincide with the third edition of the Ayla Marina Boat Show, held this month. The exhibition showcases the latest developments in the marine services sector to enthusiasts and yacht lovers from Jordan and abroad. It features exceptional events aimed at introducing all aspects of marine services through experts and professionals in the field—supporting the growth of this promising sector. The boat show, taking place in parallel with the Council of Ministers' economic stimulus decisions, helps drive direct buying and selling activity, attract investments, and foster entrepreneurial projects in the sector. It also indirectly promotes awareness of the Ayla Oasis project and its full range of real estate facilities, advantages, and services. Dudin concluded by stressing that the Council of Ministers' real estate stimulus package represents a valuable opportunity for investors, retirees, and professionals from Jordan and abroad to learn more about the government's support for the real estate sector and to explore Aqaba and its growing portfolio of projects. These decisions serve as a powerful engine for sustainable growth across dozens of interconnected sectors.

Conducted by the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (RSCN) through the Aqaba Bird Observatory, the survey underscores Ayla's growing significance as a hub for sustainable ecotourism and wildlife conservation in Jordan, according to the Jordan News Agency, Petra. Over the past decade, Ayla Oasis has recorded a total of 134 bird species, representing 31 per cent of all bird species documented in Jordan. The survey also highlighted the area's strategic location as a vital stopover for migratory birds, with 73 species observed during the spring migration and 92 species recorded in the autumn. These findings reflect the area's rich and diverse environment, which provides a safe haven for both migratory and resident birds. The survey revealed that Ayla's diverse habitats play a crucial role in supporting birdlife. It found that 46 per cent of the species were spotted in green areas and golf courses, 43 per cent in artificial lakes, and 11 per cent in desert regions. Of the species recorded, 71 per cent were migratory, while 29 per cent were resident. The survey also identified several globally threatened species, including the lesser white-fronted goose, ferruginous duck, spur-winged lapwing, and stone curlew. CEO of Ayla Oasis Development Company Sahl Dudin stressed the oasis's critical role in advancing biodiversity conservation. "Ayla has become a vital habitat for numerous bird species, positioning the project as a model for sustainable development and further solidifying its reputation as a leader in eco-tourism," Dudin said. He also highlighted the longstanding partnership between Ayla Oasis and the RSCN, which has flourished over the past decade. This cooperation led to the creation of the "Ayla Feather Trail," a bird-watching trail that has become an integral part of Jordan's ecotourism offerings. It serves as a successful example of cooperation between Ayla Oasis and national institutions dedicated to sustainability and conservation, he added. Director of the Aqaba Bird Observatory Firas Rahahleh underscored the significance of the "Ayla Feather Trail," the first bird-watching trail developed within a private project in Jordan. "The trail highlights the environmental value of the project while providing visitors with a unique and enriching experience," Rahahleh said.
