Festivals in Jordan are often of a religious nature. Like its neighboring countries, many of its holidays are marked by the Islamic calendar, so some international events such as the New Year have different dates.
The Jerash Festival is one of the biggest events in Jordan. It has been held in the homonymous city for more than 30 years. It is a cultural festival, so during the week there are shows of traditional dances of the country, concerts, photography exhibitions and poetry readings.

Muslim countries celebrate their New Year the first day of the Hegian or Islamic calendar, which is the moment of the emigration of the prophet Muhammad from Mecca to the Medina. Although it is not an especially religious day, all the mosques remain open and the songs of the believers can be heard throughout the day.
Held in the ninth month of the Muslim calendar, Ramadan is one of the most important holidays in the Islamic world. Throughout this month, believers fast during the day, from dawn until the sun goes down, at which time they can then eat and drink. There are also several prayers a day in mosques and events dedicated to the Muslim community.
Since 2016 Jordan organizes a shopping festival where stores offer large discounts and cities are filled with markets with products of all kinds, just as it is celebrated in other cities such as the United Arab Emirates. The idea of the initiative is to promote the country's products and promote shopping tourism.
