The sources, who
preferred to remain anonymous, said that several Jordanian and Arab companies
obtained a land rehabilitation document for the purpose of using
Al-Karama Dam area for the development of tourist projects, adding that the ministry decided
to extend the application period for the qualification document until after Eid
Al-Fitr, at the request of those interested.
The
Jordan Valley Authority had announced the qualification requirements for investment in
tourism and entertainment projects in an area near Al-Karama Dam that covers
approximately 3,600 acres.
The authority
proposed several projects to develop the area, including tourist restaurants,
children’s play areas, bicycle lanes, various playgrounds, and fish ponds,
which should be consistent with the nature of that area and make optimal use of
it.
Adequate water
will also be available, contributing to the success of such projects, and
providing an attractive environment for tourism and long-term investments.
