"I am pleased to be here with fellow board members of the United Nations Foundation as we announce a new and exciting partnership between the World Heritage Alliance, Expedia and Jordan’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities. 

Thank you for visiting Jordan…for supporting Petra so generously…and for partnering with us to promote and preserve our ancient and awe-inspiring heritage sites.
