Zarqa: Head of the New Beren Municipality Committee in Zarqa Governorate, Ahmad Faraheed, said on Tuesday that the municipality plans to establish a cable car project in the area to promote local development and tourism activity.
According to Jordan News Agency, Faraheed stated that the municipality aims to play a greater role in developing the local community by marketing the area as a tourist destination to attract investment. He noted that the Beren Cable Car project is still under study and evaluation, and is intended to serve all surrounding governorates.
Faraheed mentioned that, if implemented, the cable car route would extend about 1.5 kilometers each way, starting from Prince Hashem Park toward the northern side of the area. The route would include an elevated section offering passengers a panoramic view overlooking several nearby governorates. The project is expected to attract investment and foster local community development.
Faraheed also shared that the municipality organized a field visit to the proposed site on Tuesday, with the participation of Zarqa Governorate Council Chairman Jamal Abu Eid and Noura Qazza, Head of the Department of Architecture Engineering at Zarqa University.
Abu Eid emphasized that the Engineers Association in Zarqa seeks to support projects that contribute to provincial development, create engineering job opportunities, and strengthen public-private partnerships, noting that the cable car project aligns with the Economic Modernization Vision and the National Tourism Strategy.
Qaza'a conveyed the university's readiness to provide technical and advisory support through its academic and student expertise to enhance innovation in design and planning.
The project is part of the municipality's broader efforts to enhance local development. In the past, the municipality, in cooperation with the International Labour Organization, implemented the Linear Park project at the entrance of Beren, which has since become a popular destination for visitors.
