  "account": "The historic city of Salt in Jordan is set to undergo restoration and revitalization efforts to attract tourists, according to Jordan's Ministry of Tourism and the Greater Salt Municipality Committee. The ancient city, located approximately 30 kilometers from the capital Amman, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2021 due to its architectural legacy dating back to the late 19th century and its significance as a place where Muslim and Christian communities have coexisted. The restoration plan aims to create a training center for the maintenance and restoration of historic buildings, which is expected to enhance Jordan's expertise in the field and ultimately benefit the entire country by drawing more tourists. Salt is situated along the ancient road connecting Amman to Jerusalem, and one of the sites currently being restored is the city's main street, Al-Hammam, which features a spice market. The plan involves demolishing existing structures, upgrading public infrastructure, and improving services for tourists.",
