“I would really emphasise that we don’t want Petra to be a mass tourism destination; we want it to be a place for everyone who wants to experience culture, whether it be the old or the modern culture of Petra. We want it to be a unique experience because Petra is a unique place, there is no other place like Petra in the world and so that is why we want the uniqueness reflected in the experience of Petra.”
