Petra in 2025: A Tourist's Unexpected Experience. Amidst concerns about regional instability, tourism in Jordan's iconic Petra has plummeted by approximately 70%. Travel blogger, TravelTipForYou, recently visited the site and shared his experience, describing Petra as "incredibly empty." He reported feeling safe throughout his trip, a sentiment supported by a statement from the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which described Jordan as "a stable and safe country." The contrast between the perceived danger and the author's positive experience highlights the impact of misinformation and the resilience of Jordan's tourism sector. TravelTipForYou encourages others to visit, advising caution only near border regions. His video offers a compelling counterpoint to negative narratives surrounding travel to the region.
