Jordan’s As-Salt gets World Heritage status, renovation plan
Like many countries hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, Jordan, which is home to the UNESCO heritage site of Petra, also saw its tourist dollars ebb. But this year UNESCO granted the historic city of As-Salt, once an administrative centre during the Ottoman empire, the same status. The government is now working on a $10m plan to renovate its sandstone buildings in the hope tourists will soon return.
