URL rewriting in wordpress using parameters

This seems like a fairly simple idea, and forgive me for my ignorance, but in searching and testing various options, none of them work at all. I have tried a number of htaccess ideas and also WordPress’s add_rewrite_rule the following:

  1. https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/56417/url-rewrite-with-add-rewrite-rule-and-attachment-id/
  2. https://matty.blog/custom-url-rewrites-in-wordpress/
  3. Custom rewrite not working

I have a WordPress url that looks like this:

https://mywebsite.com/?listing_category=Stay

I want the URL to look like this:

https://mywebsite.com/stay/

If I can get that working, it should then be straight forward to add additional parameters to the URL and build user friendly permalinks such as:

https://mywebsite.com/?country=Italy&listing_category=Stay => https://mywebsite.com/italy/stay/

Any guidance on this would be most appreciated 😉
