The story

Arabic Calligraphy Festival Jordan in Amman

A recurring Amman exhibition of Arabic calligraphy and Islamic decorative art, organized by the Jordanian Calligraphy Forum since 2016, showcasing classical scripts such as Thuluth, Ruq'ah, and Naskh alongside hand-gilded Islamic ornamentation. Sources refer to it as an international forum and exhibition rather than consistently using the word festival.

The Jordanian Calligraphy Forum, established in 2016, organizes recurring exhibitions of Arabic calligraphy and Islamic decorative art in Amman, with a recently documented edition, the International Forum for Arabic Calligraphy and Islamic Illumination Exhibition, running for five days in August at the Cairo Amman Bank Gallery in the Wadi Saqra district.
