AMMAN — The Jordan Free and Development Zones Group (JFDZG) on Sunday announced the resumption of operations for the Ajloun Cable Car, welcoming visitors starting next Wednesday.

 

The JFDZG said that the cable car’s reopening comes after the successful completion of the annual maintenance work, which was carried out according to the highest technical standards to ensure passenger safety and operational efficiency, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

 

The JFDZG underscored that technical teams have completed all periodic inspections and established procedures to guarantee the cable car’s readiness, as well as the preparedness of the stations and cabins to receive visitors.

 

The group also stressed that it will never compromise on public safety, highlighting its commitment to adhering to the highest security and safety requirements before resuming operations.

 

Around one million people have visited the Ajloun Cable Car since its inauguration in June 2023 and visitor numbers to the Ajloun Development Area, which encompasses the cable car project, rose this year from approximately 300,000 to 350,000, highlighting the project’s positive impact on tourism in the governorate.

 

The Ajloun Development Area began with the cable car as its first phase, and has since evolved into an integrated resort where visitors can spend several hours enjoying a variety of activities and services.

 

Work is currently underway on the second phase of the project, which will include hotels, an eco-camp, eco-lodges, adventure and recreation areas, and a family park, where the development aims to further establish Ajloun as a sustainable tourism destination.
