    Jordan culture and traditions

    Presented to: MISS. Batool Radwan


    Jordan culture
    • More than 90% of the population live in Amman,
    concentrating the culture of Jordan in that city.
    Clubbing and partying culture are present in
    Amman, especially in the Western half of the
    city. Malls, global-brand stores, and hotels are
    important elements in Amman's urban life .
    • English is understood and even spoken among
    Jordanians in the upper class. There's a notable
    foreign influence on the nation's political life and
    foreign affairs. In addition, many people from
    nearby countries have been immigrating to
    Amman and calling it their new home .
    Jordan culture
    • Jordan’s culture is woven with influences from its rich history,
    Bedouin traditions, Palestinian roots, and Circassian heritage.
    Renowned for its warm hospitality, Jordan embraces visitors with
    open arms. Art, literature, and historical sites like Petra and Jerash
    enrich the cultural fabric, showcasing Jordan’s deep-rooted past and
    diverse influences.
    Jordan traditions in their dance
    • One of the most popular traditional dances in
    Jordan is dabke. This may be performed as
    gender-segregated or co-ed groups. The
    dancers line up shoulder-to-shoulder, holding
    hands or placing arms over the neighboring two
    dancers’ shoulders, then move as a group in a
    circle using steps that are punctuated by kicks
    and stomps. The accompanying music includes
    a flute called a ney, a drum called a tabl, and a
    reed instrument called a mizmar. This group
    dance is popular among Bedouins and non-
    Bedouins alike, and is often performed at
    weddings.
    Jordan’s
    •
    traditional costume for women
    Women’s clothing (Thawb)
    Jordanian women's traditional clothing
    consists of a thawb (a dress). On the front of
    the dress, there is usually a decorative panel
    made from embroidery or what we call
    tatreez. Women frequently wear handcrafted
    embroidered dresses with red, gold or green
    accents and a headscarf in the shapes of black
    and red. However, the colors and embroidery
    style differ in different parts of Jordan.
    Jordan’s traditional costume for men
    • Men’s Traditional Clothing (Dishdashah)
    • Jordanian men’s traditional clothing consists of the
    dishdashah, a long-sleeved one-piece robe that covers the
    entire body. The dishdashah is made of white or grey
    cotton in the summer to reflect sunlight. And darker,
    thicker textiles keep people warmer in the winter.
    • As for headwear, men wear a three-piece headcover in
    addition to their dishdashah. The first piece is the
    thagiyah, the foundation of this head covering, is a white
    hat that is used to keep the hair in place. The second piece
    is either one of two different styles of headscarves that are
    worn on top of the thagiyah. The summertime headdress
    known as the gutrah, which is white, the shmagh, or
    kuffiyeh, a heavy red and white head covering for winter.
    Last piece to keep the scarf in place is the Agal or (I’gal),
    is a black doubled cord worn on top of the man’s choice of
    Jordan’s traditional food
    • Lots of Jordanian dishes are consumed with the hands
    or a spoon but it is bad luck to eat food
    with the left hand. Mansaf is a traditional dish made
    of lamb cooked in a sauce of fermented dried yogurt
    called jameed and served with rice

    • Also "qahwa," Arabic coffee is a strong and


    fragrant coffee . It's often served in small cups
    without sugar and is an integral part of
    Jordanian hospitality.
    Traditions for Jordanian people in
    hospitality
    • When you visit Jordan, you’re likely to
    hear “ahlan wa sahlan” — which means
    “welcome” . Though hospitality and
    generosity are associated with many people
    and places, these characteristics are ingrained
    in Jordan’s culture . Jordanian hospitality is
    the most natural characteristic of Jordanian
    culture . Every home has guests room to
    visitors , it sometimes called ( diwaan )with
    large mattress style seating and carpets .
