Hmeisat said that parts of the area, commonly known
as the Corniche, was damaged because it was extensively used to isolate suspected
COVID patients at the height of the pandemic.
“We hope that the Corniche will be rehabilitated and
ready before the end of the year, and available to investors wishing to invest
in it, as there are many investors waiting for it to reopen again,” he said.
Hmeisat added that the site was ready in March 2020,
but investing in it was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as it was damaged
as a result of turning it into a sanitary isolation area. Now, he added, the
area needs comprehensive maintenance work, including lighting and sidewalks.
Hmeisat indicated that the Corniche area in the Dead
Sea, which extends over 2.1km, was divided into different plots of land, in
preparation for those who wish to invest in it, establishing tourist facilities
there. He said that could include hotels, restaurants, hotel apartments and
chalets.
An area of 7,000sq.m. is designated for a hospital.
