Amman Municipality Upgrades Downtown Tourist Walkway to Improve Safety, Accessibility

Amman, August 20 (Petra) — The Greater Amman Municipality (GAM)
launched on Thursday a maintenance and upgrade project along the
Amman Tourist Walkway downtown, as part of a broader effort to revamp
the capital’s historical and tourism areas.

Work crews are upgrading sidewalks, street lighting, pedestrian
crossings, and guardrails to improve safety and accessibility for
visitors, said Mohammad Abu Zaitoun, Executive Director of Amman
Neighborhoods and Tourist Trails Development Projects.

He noted that GAM, in partnership with the Department of Antiquities
and the Jordan Tourism Board, is installing directional signage and
QR codes at heritage, historical, and popular sites along the path
that allow tourists to instantly access the history and background of
each location.

Abu Zaitoun underlined that the initiative forms a “core part” of
GAM’s strategy to revitalize the historic city center and boost local
and international tourism.
