Around 5,000 Visitors to Iraq Al-Amir
During the first seven months of 2026, the Kingdom of Jordan experienced a 9.5% decline in the total number of visitors to Iraq Al-Amir site, with the total dropping to 4,969 visitors compared to 5,492 visitors in the same period of the previous year. Meanwhile, the number of Jordanian visitors increased by 19.8% to reach 4,115 visitors, whereas the number of foreign visitors decreased by 58.5% to 854 visitors, due to a decline in international tourists that was not offset by the rise in local tourists. These figures come amid efforts by the Ministry of Tourism to stimulate domestic tourism through the "Our Jordan is a Paradise" program, which aims to attract around 220,000 participants in 2026 by offering diverse supported tourism experiences, including free transportation, guides, and cultural events, with a focus on promoting less-visited areas and supporting local economies.
