PETRA — Tourism Minister Nayef Fayez on Wednesday said the government approved JD35 million in allocations for several development projects in Petra.
During a meeting with Petra Development and Tourism Region Authority (PDTRA) Chief Commissioner Mohammad Nawafleh at the historic city, the minister confirmed the government’s commitment to providing the necessary funds for the projects, which His Majesty King Abdullah was briefed on during his recent visit to the city.
Fayez said work on implementing some of the projects, which he described as “vital”, will probably start at the beginning of 2016 as soon technical preparations are completed.
