| Festival Description | Jerash Festival is an international festival which was established in 1980 as a proposal introduced by Her Majesty Queen Nour Al-Hussein. Soon after, the first Jerash Festival was launched in 1981. The festival takes place in the ancient Greek-Roman city of Jerash, Which was one of the famous Dicapolis cities during the 1st century AD. The entire city with its Amphitheaters, Temples, Plazas and Forums opens for the artists and audiences. There are seven theaters, which represent the seven arts. Many international artists, musicians, poets and many super stars had participated in previous years. Jerash is itself a beautiful piece of cosmic poetry. Musicians, dancers, singers, poets and dreamers abound—from the south theater near by Hadrian Gate to the north Theater after the steps of Artemis Temple you pass the world. Jerash is a journey in music and arts. |
