Petra closed to visitors over safety concerns
Amman - Petra
The Petra Development and Tourism Authority (PDTRA) closed the ancient Nabataean city to tourists on Thursday afternoon due to the heavy rainfall and the formation of floods. PDTRA Mohammad Nawafleh said the decision was taken to protect visitors, adding that the authority’s teams evacuated several tourists from the ancient city of Petra earlier on Thursday due to weather conditions. The decision on whether to open the site to visitors on Friday depends on the weather conditions, he said.
