Amman, July 30 (Petra) – The 10th Jameed and Ghee Festival, held by Hashemite Fund for the Development of the Jordan Badia (HFDJB), will kick off Friday, July 31, at King Hussein Park.
A "large" number of cooperative and charitable societies from across the Jordanian Badia will participate.
In a press statement Thursday, Ayesh Qatarneh, HFDJB Director, said the festival provides an "ideal" marketing platform for the societies' jameed and ghee products and facilitates direct purchases for citizens.
The event, he noted, is also an opportunity that allows the public to view products made by the Badia women and enjoy traditional Bedouin cuisine and heritage activities.
Running from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM on Friday and Saturday, Qatarneh said the two-day event directly contributes to marketing dairy and cheese products produced by women's societies throughout the northern, central, and southern Jordanian Badia regions.
Noting its marketing and promotional role, the director noted the festival also features entertainment and artistic activities, such as charcoal drawing, camel riding displays, traditional cuisine, recitations of authentic Bedouin poetry, artistic and folkloric performances reflecting the "unique charm and heritage of the desert, a heritage corner, and more." He invited citizens, residents, and tourists to Jordan to visit the festival, take advantage of its products and exhibits, and enjoy its diverse programs.
