Experience the excitement, pageantry and historical splendour of the Jerash Festival of Culture and Arts, which commemorates the cultural merging of eastern and western cultures over 2,000 years ago, completely transforming the Jordanian landscape. Unfolding during late July and early August, its occurrence during low peak tourist seasons ensures that you will be able to check into a luxury Amman hotel such as the Millennium Hotel Amman. Featuring luxury interiors and 5-star service, this hotel in Amman Jordan is a welcome choice to host your stay. Take part in the spirited grandeur of the Jerash Festival of Culture and Arts to experience a truly unique Jordanian event that celebrates its vibrant and eclectic cultural make-up. Founded by Queen Noor in 1981, the festival has become a hub of artists, dancers, singers and all creative beings from the whole of Jordan to meet, exchange their ideas and showcase their talents to each other and to appreciative audiences from all over the globe. Catch some magnificent dancing and singing performances, stroll down the aged city streets and marvel at the local handicrafts persons plying their wares such as jewellery, embroidery, Bedouin carpets, ceramics, glass, metal and wood, and even walk away with a souvenir or two for the folks back home. Enjoy a traditional Jordanian meal bursting with vibrant flavours and exotic spices and catch a ballet, symphony orchestra or Shakespearean performance to fully round out a fun time at this unique cultural event. There are special events for children as well, guaranteeing a fun time to be had by the entire family.
