“Our seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites are a powerful testament to the diverse civilisational influences that shaped Jordan over hundreds of thousands of years. Each of the sites has something unique to offer to visitors, transporting them to the marvels of the past, and opening their hearts and minds to the wonders of nature as well as the rich cultural, trade and architectural legacy of our ancient communities,” he said.

He further pointed that “the Jordan Tourism Board is welcoming visitors especially UAE residents and GCC citizens, to experience the marvels of seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites, which offer enriching experiences of Jordan’s magnificent past and vibrant present.”

The heritage sites include the remnants of ancient civilisations, defined by Petra - one of the world’s richest and largest archaeological sites set in a dominating red sandstone landscape - to the breathtaking landscapes of Wadi Rum. Visitors can explore these timeless wonders, all of them preserved with authenticity.
