Ajloun: More than 10,000 people made it to the Ajloun cable car during the Eid al-Fitr holidays despite a temporary disruption on the second day due to strong winds, according to the Jordan Free and Development Zones Group (JFDZ), which runs the cable car known as teleferik.
According to Jordan News Agency, Director General of the JFDZ, Mohammad Wakid, said the cable car broke the visitor record, welcoming over 5,000 people in a single day on Friday. This included citizens, residents, Arab and foreign tourists, indicating a growing public interest in cable car rides as a key tourist attraction in the Kingdom.
The JFDZ called on visitors to arrive early to experience all activities and services available at the scenic Sawwan site of the cable, 76 kilometers from Amman. The cable car operates seven days a week, except for the first Tuesday of each month.
The cable car service is part of a broader promotional campaign for Ajloun as a leading tourist destination by the JFDZ, which is spearheading the development of the Sawwan area as a tourism and investment destination.
