A British traveler who visited the ancient Jordanian city of Petra 75 times has passed away, according to regional media reports. The frequent visitor cultivated a deep connection with the historic archaeological site over decades of repeated journeys.

Regional broadcasting network Sky News Arabia reported the traveler’s death following a lifetime of documented affection for the UNESCO World Heritage Site. The visitor frequently expressed his longing to return to the Nabataean city, culminating in a total of 75 recorded trips to the southern Jordanian governorate of Ma’an.
