Heavy rains struck southern Jordan on Sunday afternoon, triggering flash floods that poured into Petra’s narrow rock-carved passageways. The Petra Development and Tourism Region Authority (PDTRA) halted ticket sales and temporarily closed access to the site as a precaution.
However, tourist activities resumed today in the ancient city of Petra, just one day after flash floods swept through the area, forcing the evacuation of nearly 1,800 visitors, according to Jordanian authorities.
Authorities say emergency plans worked effectively
Yazan Mahadin, Commissioner1 of the PDTRA, stated that emergency crews were promptly2 deployed3 and implemented4 a coordinated5 response plan. He emphasized that public safety was prioritized, leading to the swift evacuation of visitors, repairs of affected6 areas, and resumption of operations.
