The best time to visit Jordan… hotels at the lowest prices in Petra and the Dead Sea
Petra, the 'Rose City,' and Dead Sea hotels in Jordan are experiencing price cuts and are offering accommodation deals at a range of hotels. These reduced prices offer opportunities to host tourist groups from around the world, enjoy the summer atmosphere, and access Jordan's most prominent archaeological and tourist sites. Jordan's 5-star hotels, most of which operate under international hotel brands, are distinguished by their high-quality hospitality services, their extensive understanding of the needs of foreign tourists, and their provision of an unparalleled tourist experience. Petra is considered one of the New Seven Wonders of the World and contains many archaeological sites dating back to the Nabataean civilization. This city is carved into the rocks. It is also famous for the Siq, which extends between a rocky cleft leading to the heart of the Rose City and the Treasury Square. On the other side, there are many historical landmarks. The Dead Sea is the lowest point in the world, and it has a special advantage in terms of treatment and medical tourism. The Dead Sea is one of the most important tourist areas for environmental healing in the world. It is characterized by a group of natural factors that have made it a competitive position in the region in the field of medical tourism and healing. This is due to its unique climatic characteristics, whether it is free of humidity, or it contains sulfur springs that make it qualified to treat many diseases, especially skin diseases, which are widespread, as the number of those afflicted with them in Europe reaches 25 million patients, in addition to treating rheumatoid arthritis. Thus, the Dead Sea area possesses important elements for tourist attraction, not only in medical tourism, but also in its distinction in entertainment tourism and environmental tourism. The World Health Organization's designation of the Dead Sea region as a global center for the treatment of many skin diseases in 2011 demonstrates the region's importance in medical tourism. Many hotels located on the Dead Sea coast offer natural treatments based on the region's unique natural properties, without the use of any chemical medications. Numerous studies confirm that the Dead Sea region, with its therapeutic benefits, can generate the greatest financial return for tourism in Jordan, given that the incidence of skin diseases ranges between 1 and 3% of the population. Conference tourism at the Dead Sea has also witnessed significant development in recent times. The Dead Sea region has become a hub for this type of tourism, organizing conferences, seminars, and meetings at all levels, locally, regionally, and internationally. Specialized entities are responsible for organizing these meetings and conferences, providing services that go beyond the official aspect of the conference, but also include tourism and entertainment services for participants. Jordan established the Dead Sea Conference and Exhibition Company in 2003 with the participation of a group of Jordanian and Arab investors. The company's first project was the construction of the King Hussein Bin Talal Convention Center, which hosts major regional and international events and conferences. This project has contributed to placing Jordan on the global map for business and investment forums, as the center has hosted the World Economic Forum more than once. Jordan annually organizes a Dead Sea running marathon, with the participation of thousands of citizens and tourists, starting from Amman and ending at the touristic Amman beach overlooking the Dead Sea. This event is held to support brain and nerve patients in the Kingdom. Dead Sea Laboratories also produces numerous cosmetics made from minerals extracted from its mud. These products are available in stores throughout Jordan, or can be ordered online and delivered anywhere in the world, so visitors can continue to enjoy the benefits of the Dead Sea long after they return home.

Petra: 5,000 employees affected by the decline in tourism
Petra Hotels Association President Abdullah al-Hasanat estimated that around 5,000 employees across various tourism sectors have been affected by the decline in tourism in Petra. Petra hotels alone have laid off around 700 employees due to the sharp decline in occupancy. Al-Hasanat said that all workers in the tourism sector have been negatively affected by the decline in tourism, with some losing their jobs or seeing their incomes slashed by more than half. Al-Hasanat added that approximately 32 of Petra's 90 tourist hotels have completely closed their doors, while the remaining hotels are operating partially and in accordance with available tourist activity. Occupancy rates range between 1-5% under the best of circumstances. Al-Hasanat called on the government to take further measures to accelerate the recovery of tourism, such as accelerating the attraction of low-cost airlines. He called for further support for Petra's tourism sector to enable it to continue, including direct financial support, interest-free loan deferrals until tourism activity improves, and tax exemptions. The Petra region has been suffering from a sharp decline in visitor numbers for nearly a year and ten months, due to the surrounding political circumstances, most notably the repercussions of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip. The number of foreign visitors to the city declined by more than 70% last year, according to official figures from the Petra Region. The tourism downturn has cast a dark shadow over the city's various economic sectors. الوسوم نسخ الرابط تم نسخ الرابط

A sharp decline in tourism in Petra… Al-Buraizat: Hotels closed and hundreds of employees laid off from tourism facilities.
The Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of the Petra Development and Tourism Authority, Fares Al-Braizat, stated that the state of tourism in Petra is 'very poor,' explaining that more than 32 hotels in the city are closed, comprising over 2,000 hotel rooms. Al-Braizat added, in a statement to 'Sawt Al-Mamlaka' on Monday evening, that all popular hotels, which number more than 200 rooms, are also closed. He revealed that nearly 700 employees were laid off from Petra hotels due to the decline in visitor numbers, emphasizing that the majority of the city's residents rely on tourism as their primary source of income. He confirmed that a lack of funding has led to the suspension of most capital projects in Petra for the current fiscal year. Furthermore, Al-Braizat indicated that the conflict in Gaza has significantly impacted incoming tourism, noting that 87% of Petra's visitors in 2023 were foreigners. He warned that marketing efforts in Europe and other regions would be ineffective amid regional tensions. Regarding nationalities that visit most, he clarified that Russians rank second after Americans in visiting Petra this year, followed by the French, then Italians, British, and Spaniards, stressing the importance of diversifying targeted global tourism markets to compensate for the current downturn. Hotel occupancy rates are only at 5%. For his part, the Vice President of the Jordanian Hotels Association, Hussein Hilalat, mentioned that the Ministry of Tourism's claims of growth in the sector 'have not manifested at all in reality,' asserting that Madaba, Petra, and Wadi Rum are the most affected areas by the decline in tourism activity. He noted that the Ministry of Tourism had promised the return of low-cost flights in October, but low bookings might prevent this from happening. He pointed out that there are countries suffering from regional repercussions, like Egypt, but they still receive tourists, indicating that an alternative plan is needed to rescue the tourism sector. Hilalat confirmed that hotel prices in Petra are very low, but demand is almost nonexistent, mentioning that the hotel occupancy rate does not exceed 5% in the first half of the current year, a figure which he described as alarming. The situation in Petra is 'very poor.' In turn, the President of the Petra Hotels Association, Abdullah Al-Hasanat, described the situation in Petra as 'very poor,' explaining that communication with the Ministry of Tourism has reached a 'dead end,' despite the worsening crisis. He criticized the 'Jordan Our Paradise' program, arguing that allocating 20,000 visitors to Petra over just five days is not a sustainable solution for operating hotel establishments. He noted that more than 700 employees were recently laid off from Petra hotels, indicating that the conditions for hotels are 'very difficult,' and that 91 hotels in the city are mostly owned by local residents, which increases the local harm. Tourism is a victim of regional tensions. The Chairman of the Economic and Investment Committee in Parliament, Khaled Abu Hassan, confirmed that Petra is the primary tourist destination in Jordan, but today it is among the most affected areas by the repercussions of regional conditions. He pointed out that the Ministry of Tourism acknowledges the existence of a 'real problem' in the city, emphasizing that the cessation of low-cost flights due to regional tensions has played a key role in diminishing tourism movement. He indicated that the Israeli-Iranian conflict, which coincided with the start of the tourist season, has significantly affected the tourism sector this year. الوسوم نسخ الرابط تم نسخ الرابط
