• Attractions

The ancient city of Petra is one of Jordan’s national treasures and by far its best known tourist attraction. Petra is the legacy of the Nabataeans, an industrious Arab people who settled in southern Jordan more than 2,000 years ago. Admired then for its refined culture, massive architecture and ingenious complex of dams and water channels, Petra is a UNESCO World Heritages Site and one of the new Seven Wonders of the World. Inhabited by the Nabateans, Edomites and Romans, Petra brought together the knowledge and skill of these civilizations to create this world wonder. Caravans laden with incense, silks, spices and other exotic goods would rest at Petra.

This site is one of Jordan’s UNESCO world heritage sites, for more information click here .

Number of tourists in Jordan dropped in January-April

The figures showed that 1.785 guests arrived in Jordan in the January-April period of this year, Al Mamlakah TV reported on Tuesday.

The ministry said that the number of tourists went up by 9.3 per cent compared with the same period in 2019, and increased by 5.2 per cent for projections of the ministry.

In 2023, the Kingdom’s income from tourism increased by 27.4 per cent, according to the data issued by the Central Bank of Jordan in January.

The data showed that the country’s tourism income has reached JD7.410 billion in 2023, up from JD5.254 billion in 2022, pointing that the number of tourists who visited Jordan in 2023 was up to 6,353,800 visitors.

The data revealed that the number of visitors last year rose by around 25.8 per cent, when compared with the number of tourists in 2022.

The International Monetary Fund has recently said that the impact of the Israeli aggression on Gaza is concentrated on Jordan’s tourism sector as a result of the cancellations by tourists from advanced economies, which account for a third of tourism revenues.
