Jordanian Minister of Culture Haifa el Najjar has asserted the choice of Irbid city as the Arab capital of culture for 2022 and the Arab participation over the year showed that Jordan is hosting all, particularly Arab brothers.
In statements to MENA correspondent in Amman on Wednesday, Najjar hailed the Egyptian participation during the activities over the year.
The minister was speaking on the sidelines of the concluding ceremony of celebrations of selecting Irbid as the Arab capital of culture for 2022.
The Arab activities have been asserting strength of Arab unity, she said, adding the Egyptian participation was active and distinguished.
Picked recently as Arab capital of culture for 2022, Jordan’s Irbid city is home to historic and traditional landmarks, along with a group of museums that reflect the city’s popular and human heritage.
Located in northern Jordan and overlooking the Golan Heights, the city also embraces several universities,
mainly Yarmouk University and Jordan University of Science and Technology, making it important and
attractive to large numbers of students.
