As every year, shortly after the summer starts, Jordan prepares to celebrate the Jerash Festival, one of the most important cultural events in the country. Internationally known for its & nbsp; Roman Heritage, the city will transform its streets with an appointment that will gather visitors from all over June 26 to July 6.
Musical and theater groups, ballets, art and craft exhibitions of which several countries participate, are some of the attractions that await the visitor in this tourist destination located north of the Hachemita kingdom, considered as one of the best preserved Roman provinces of the world.
There will be four theaters that every day will host the shows from 8:30 p.m. One of them, the Sound and Lightre, is especially reserved for representations aimed at children.
The streets with columns, squares and theaters of Jerash, provide unique places for these acts that are enhanced under the limpid skies of Jordanian summer. As shows are presented in different areas, thousands of visitors can at the same time enjoy a walk through the old streets and monuments of the city, buy crafts, attend art exhibitions and enjoy an informal meal.
The qualified artisans expose in view of visitors, extraordinary beduine carpets, jewelry, embroidery, ceramics, glass objects, wood and metal that they make in view of the public.
Inaugurated in 1981 by Queen Noor Al-Hussein, the Jerash Festival has become a privileged showcase where artists, performers or Jordanian performers can express their art and link with the audience that attends the four corners of the world.
