Abstract

A special program about the independence and the army day which falls on May, 25th. This year, it is celebrated with a great ceremony under the patronage of His Majesty King Hussein Ben Talal, the supreme Commander of the Armed Forces. This army deserves respect and appreciation because it defended Jordan and stopped the Israeli invasion. Through this program, we will know about the urban development of Jordan in many fields; through the creation of institutions, as well as the building of roads and bridges. We will also know about the heritage and the history from the civilizations that settled in Jordan, as well as the Islamic conquests. Then, the program introduces the history of the Dead Sea and its touristic importance, Petra, the Nabataean era and the desert palaces.
