The Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority in Jordan, in cooperation with the Ayla Oasis project, has announced a new initiative aimed at facilitating the entry of foreign tourists into the Kingdom. The initiative allows passports to be stamped directly at the Ayla Oasis site, with those arriving via Aqaba exempted from departure visa fees.
The authority explained that tourists who enter Aqaba within 48 hours of arriving in Jordan will receive a departure fee exemption card, in a step aimed at encouraging visits to the city and boosting its competitiveness on the global tourism map. It stressed that these facilitations come as part of its strategic plans to make Aqaba Jordan's maritime gateway and a sustainable tourism and investment capital, according to the Jordan News Agency (Petra).
For his part, Mansour Kabariti, Public Relations Director at Ayla Oasis, explained that the initiative is an important achievement in facilitating entry procedures for foreign tourists and a qualitative addition that will help attract more visitors, with a positive impact on the local economy and tourism sector investments.
