Petra visitor counts fall
The city of Petra saw a decline in the number of visitors during the months from January to July 2026, reaching a total of 281,123 visitors, which is a 3.7% decrease compared to the same period last year, when it recorded 291,912 visitors. This decline is accompanied by the lowest occupancy rates in hotels, with five-star hotels experiencing around 13% occupancy, four-star hotels about 1%, and three-star hotels at 2%, due to a heavy reliance on European and foreign tourism. At the same time, tourism revenue in July increased by 24.9% to reach $926.2 million, despite the overall income for the first seven months of the year decreasing slightly by 0.2% to $4.418 billion. There was also a decline in spending by Jordanian expatriate tourists by 8.9%, Americans by 20.6%, and Europeans by 24.7%.
