Over 171,000 Tourists Visit Petra in 7 Months
The archaeological city of Petra experienced a decline in visitor numbers during the first seven months of 2026, with a total of 281,123 visitors—a 3.7% decrease compared to the same period last year. There was a noticeable drop in tourism revenues, accompanied by continued low hotel occupancy rates, which reached only 13% in five-star hotels. Despite this, tourism income in July rose by 24.9% to $926.2 million, even though revenues from foreign visitors declined by as much as 20.6%. These figures negatively impact the city's tourism sector, which heavily depends on European and international tourists, although tourism income from Arab visitors increased by 12.8%.
