Opening of the heritage tourism project in Karak

The heritage tourism project in Wadi Ibn Hammad, implemented by the Karak Heritage and Tourism Association, affiliated with the Ministry of Tourism, was inaugurated yesterday evening, Wednesday.

The council prioritizes tourism in Karak Governorate, given the governorate's diverse tourist sites, making it a distinct destination both locally and internationally.

He praised the significant efforts of the project management, which will contribute to establishing the nucleus of a pioneering tourism project in the Wadi Ibn Hammad region, which lacks tourist service sites. He emphasized that this project will play a significant role in stimulating tourism activity and ensuring optimal tourism services for tourists and visitors from within and outside the Kingdom.

For his part, Director of Karak Tourism, Sateh Al-Masa'adah, stated that the directorate is working according to a systematic, practical plan aimed at implementing the concept of sustainable community tourism development in Karak Governorate and preserving, sustaining, and developing heritage and tourism resources. This will contribute to stimulating tourism activity and creating job opportunities for members of the local community.

In turn, the association's president, Dr. Mahmoud Al-Rahifa, reviewed the project's challenges and achievements, as well as the remaining stages of its completion. He called for concerted efforts from all relevant parties to find solutions to the challenges facing the development of the governorate's tourism product, in order to develop the tourism sector in Karak Governorate, especially the Wadi Ibn Hammad region, which is popular both locally and internationally.
