Jordan sees tourism slump over Israeli war in Gaza - Region
Jordan has seen a decrease in the number of tourists visiting its famed ancient city of Petra and other sites since the Israeli war in Gaza began in October 2023, according to officials. Although Jordan does not border the Gaza Strip, it has been among several countries across the region impacted by the Israeli war on Gaza. Figures released by the Petra Development and Tourism Region Authority and reported Monday by the official Al-Mamlaka TV showed the number of visitors dropped by around 61 percent from 1,174,137 in 2023 to 457,215 last year. "We feel the repercussions of the aggression on Gaza every day, especially for providers of tourism services," Abdul Razzaq Arabiyat, the director of the national tourism board, told Al-Mamlaka on Friday. He said incoming tourism from Europe and North America has hit a record low, dealing a devastating blow to the hotel industry and tour operators around Petra, in Jordan's south. According to figures from the Petra tourism authority carried by official media, 32 hotels have had to shut down and nearly 700 people have lost their jobs. Petra, famous for its stunning temples hewn from rose-pink cliff faces, is a UN World Heritage site. The Jordanian economy relies on revenues from the kingdom's tourism sector, which accounts for 14 percent of gross domestic product. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:

Atalanta Rejects Ademola Lookman's Statement
Rana Atef Serie A side Atalanta rejected their Nigerian star Ademola Lookman's statements, in which the player accused the club of "not honoring promises" about his transfer. Lookman claimed that the club had pledged to sell him abroad this summer; however, they blocked his move to Inter Milan. The situation escalated as Lookman submitted an official transfer request, which he confirmed in a lengthy statement posted on his Instagram account. In the statement, he said the club had promised to allow his departure this summer if a suitable offer arrived, but is now obstructing his move to Inter Milan 'for reasons I do not understand.' According to the Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, Atalanta saw the matter differently. The club claimed the promise dates back to last summer, when Lookman asked to be left out of the squad for the UEFA Super Cup match against Real Madrid due to interest from Paris Saint-Germain. The club clarified, according to the report, that the agreement was to allow the player to leave for a non-Italian club if an ambitious and lucrative offer came in. In the same context, Atalanta CEO Percassi said, 'The pact with Lookman was made one year ago when we rejected €20m from PSG'. 'We told him: we'll let you leave in 2025 for a super top club and not in Italy. Now, the situation [with Inter] is different... and as always, it's us deciding' Atalanta stated they would have been more flexible had Lookman attempted to join Arsenal, Chelsea, or PSG, rather than a direct Serie A competitor like Inter. Atalanta insisted that if Lookman is to move to Inter, it must be for the right price—specifically €50 million, instead of the current offer of €42 million plus €3 million in bonuses. read more Japan Stun Spain 2-1 to Qualify for World Cup Last 16 World Cup 2022: Get to Know Confirmed Line-ups of Japan and Spain Group E Decider Saudi Arabia Bid Farewell to World Cup after 2-1 Loss to Mexico Tunisia Achieve Historic Win over France but Fail to Qualify Tunisia to Clash against France in World Cup Sports Get to Know Squad of Group D Teams in World Cup Sports Al Ahly Gift EGP 70,000 to Players After Claiming Egyptian Super Cup Title Sports Bencharki Hits First 2 Goals with Al Jazira Since Leaving Zamalek Sports Arsenal Possible Line-up for Nottingham Forest News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results

Egypt, Uganda hold talks on water security, regional cooperation - Foreign Affairs
Egypt's Foreign Minister, Badr Abdelatty, and Minister of Water Resources, Hani Sewilam, held talks in Kampala on Monday with Uganda's State Minister for Foreign Affairs, Henry Oryem Okello, focusing on water security, regional developments, and strengthening bilateral ties. During the visit, Abdelatty handed over a grant of agricultural equipment and light transport vehicles to a Ugandan NGO supporting youth and small-scale farmers. According to foreign ministry spokesperson Tamim Khallaf, Abdelatty reaffirmed Egypt's commitment to deepening its historical relationship with Uganda and boosting political and economic cooperation. He expressed support for Uganda's participation in a development project financing mechanism for southern Nile Basin countries, established by Egypt. Abdelatty also underscored Egypt's readiness to expand technical cooperation with Uganda across infrastructure, energy, investment, and development sectors. He called for increased access to Egyptian goods in Ugandan markets and affirmed Egyptian companies' willingness to contribute to Uganda's development, in line with President Yoweri Museveni's priorities—particularly in infrastructure, water, energy and pharmaceuticals. Abdelatty highlighted the role of Egyptian companies operating across the continent, noting Uganda's participation in training programmes run by the Egyptian Agency of Partnership for Development (EAPD), which Ugandan officials described as valuable support for capacity building. The meeting also addressed water security in the Nile Basin. Abdelatty stressed the importance of cooperation based on international law and reiterated Egypt's rejection of unilateral actions in the Eastern Nile Basin that violate international law, saying Cairo would take 'all necessary measures' to protect its water security. Sewilam outlined existing bilateral cooperation on water projects and reiterated that respecting international law is fundamental to ensuring shared benefits for all Nile Basin countries. The two sides also discussed regional developments, particularly the situation in Somalia and the ongoing deployment of the African Union Stabilization Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM), in which both Egypt and Uganda participate. Abdelatty stressed the need to preserve the unity and stability of Somalia and Sudan, support national institutions, and promote peace and development across the continent. The Kampala visit followed Abdelatty's recent tour of five West African countries—Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Niger, Mali and Senegal—aimed at strengthening ties and enhancing coordination on counterterrorism in the Sahel region.
