MAG Group Holding, the diversified, multinational real estate development company based in UAE, has launched Riviera Heights, the highly anticipated first luxury residential development in Marsa Zayed, Jordan’s largest mixed-use beachfront community.
Riviera Heights is the first project in a plan to transform a 320-hectare section of Jordan’s Red Sea coast into an international tourism and residential destination. Landowner AD Ports Group in February appointed Dubai-based MAG Group Holding to develop Marsa Zayed, which will open a southern gateway to Jordan’s main attractions, the UNESCO World Heritage Site Petra and Wadi Rum Protected Area.
Riviera Heights will consist of four, 35-story luxury apartment buildings, spread over 51,000 m2, located on the southern edge of the Marsa Zayed development area. The development will include more than 1,250 seafront apartments.

“Riviera Heights captures the true essence of Jordan, its warmth, heritage, and culture. We are breathing new life and economic vitality into Aqaba by creating vibrant spaces that foster a genuine connection to its extraordinary Red Sea coastline. Together with AD Ports Group, our vision is to cultivate a destination with wide appeal to a wide range of discriminating travelers, where everyone feels a true sense of belonging.”
Site works are now underway, and the handover completion of Riviera Heights construction is expected by the first quarter of 2028. MAG Group Holding is committed to delivering the highest standards of quality, design, and lifestyle-focused experiences to investors, supported by tailored payment plans and dedicated property management.
Captain Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, Managing Director and Group CEO of AD Ports Group, said that, “We welcome the launch of Riviera Heights, which marks the official beginning of construction in Marsa Zayed, the Red Sea’s newest and most exciting tourism and residential development. Under the wise guidance of our leadership in the UAE, AD Ports Group and MAG Group Holding are making a strategic investment in Jordan’s economy that will bring long-term jobs and economic growth to a region defined by its unique natural coastal beauty.”
Riviera Heights lays the foundation for Marsa Zayed’s vision of a vibrant, contemporary waterfront community. By combining distinctive homes, rich cultural offerings, and a lively social scene in one exceptional setting, marks a significant milestone for Aqaba.
