The ongoing conflict between the US and Israel and Iran has severely impacted tourism in Jordan's ancient city of Petra. The war has led to a dramatic decline in visitor numbers, leaving the historically popular archaeological site nearly empty. This sharp drop in tourism is causing significant financial losses for Jordanians who rely on the industry for their livelihoods. The conflict, originating in the Middle East, is the primary reason cited for the devastating effect on Petra's once-thriving tourist economy.
