Ayla has supported many initiatives, either individually or through
partnerships with local and international institutions and organizations that
assist national efforts to protect nature and the environment.

many programs and established environmental and natural paths, which made
Ayla Oasis an environmentally sustainable destination. This had a clear positive
impact on the local community and everyday life in the governorate, the
statement said.

the initiative in raising awareness and maintaining a clean and safe
