During the Eid Al Fitr holidays, which span over one week in some countries, Aqaba and Turkey were the best travel destinations for Jordanians. Both nations witnessed massive numbers of Jordanians and foreign visitors during the holidays. Hotels and camps remained overloaded with the travelers at the eve of Eid Al Fitr.

Turkey citizens celebrated Eid holiday with many foreigners at the historical and touristic places of Istanbul. Eid al-Fitr is a religious holiday celebrated by Muslims around the world that marks the end of Ramadan, Islamic holy month of fasting. People from different countries gathered at many Muslim sacred places in Aqaba to show their presence to their god. As Turkey is famous for shopping and Cappadocia hot air balloon ride tours, the country has collected enough to raise its economy. Many people had bought the eve accessaries and had fun around here.

Usually, people have a misconception about inbound tourism. They prefer to visit abroad by opting for agencies like Goodman Tours Turkey during their precious holidays or on special occasions. Hence most of the people are attracted to Turkey to spend time at many historical and religious places. Almost 90% of people of neighboring countries have chosen Turkey and Jordan city Aqaba during the eve. Rest of the people have preferred Sharm El Sheikh, Georgia and Armenia which are also the religious destinations during Eid Al Fitr.

Tareq Masri, who belongs to an Arab country and has traveled Turkey third time, said, “it has many advantages that are appealing to Arabs. It is near, affordable, and beautiful. We have been there three times to three different cities, and they are all different. It is a good place for a short three-day stay.”
