STORYLINE:
The archaeological site of Umm al-Jimal, located in the city of Al Mafraq to the northeast of Amman, the capital of Jordan, was recently included in the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage List.
The site of Umm al-Jimal is situated near the Jordanian-Syrian border, and is known as the Black Oasis due to the prevalence of black volcanic rocks in the area.
The name Umm al-Jimal, which means 'Mother of Camels,' comes from the use of camels in trade caravans in the area, which was first settled by the Nabataean people in the first century AD and later by the Romans.
SOUNDBITE (Arabic): EMAD OBEIDAT, Director of Department of Antiquities in Al Mafraq Governorate
"One of the most important features of this city is that it has preserved its authenticity throughout the ages, having experienced many eras, from the Nabataean period to the present. There is constant communication with the local community, which has preserved the city and maintained its authenticity. In addition to the architectural features found in Umm al-Jimal, such as the water engineering system, the irrigation system, and the multi-floor buildings, the city also boasts unique elements like the existing tiling system and the flying stairs built into the walls.
We welcome Chinese tourists to the Umm al-Jimal site, which is a distinguished World Heritage site and the seventh such site in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. The Jordanian people, especially those from Mafraq and Umm al-Jimal, are known for their hospitality, and we hope tourists will visit the archaeological site and Jordan regularly."
