AMMAN — The Royal Jordanian is pleased to announce the launch of seasonal flights to Paphos, starting June 13th, 2024. This new addition aims to enhance tourism opportunities for Jordanians, offering a fresh holiday destination alongside popular summer spots like Sharm El Sheikh, Antalya, Larnaca, Athens and Barcelona, according to the statement. 

Paphos will serve as an excellent complement to visits to Cyprus, providing a second destination within the island that is rich in cultural and historical attractions, the statement said.
