Culture Buzz and More: Things to do in Amman these Two Weeks

Most of you probably know that Fairuz is in town and will be performing in the play “Sa7 El Nom” tomorrow Friday the 2nd and Saturday the 3rd, at the Arena Theater at 8:00 pm. Tickets are for 70 JDs.

Luckily, Amman’s cultural events are not all this expensive, and there are some cool freebees happening :)

Starting Sunday November 4th, Meeting Points 5 will kick off. This is an international art festival which takes place from 22 November until 01 December in nine Arabic cities: Rabat, Alexandria, Cairo, Amman, Tunis, Minia, Damascus, Beirut, Ramallah, as well as in Brussels and Berlin. MP5 is dedicated to contemporary art and presents projects from the field of theatre, dance, fine arts, film, video and music.

On Friday the 2nd, Vlasca — The Romanian Folkloric Group will be performing at Al Hussein Cultural Centre - Ras Al Ain at 20:00pm.

On Monday November 5th, a concert of classical Arabic music will take place (most probably at the Hussein Cultural Center but I need to double check) at 7:30 pm

Every Tuesday at 6:30pm

On Monday November 12th, an evening of American music by the Chicago Trio and Friends, at 8:00 pm at the Hussein Cultural Center…



Not very free but cool things to do…

Every Thursday you can hear Sign of Thyme play at Fame, starting 9:00pm (no cover charge but you need to order dinner)

Elections Mania

It’s not all empty slogans filling up the streets for the November 20th Elections. Thankfully some people are trying to look at it differently and get the candidates to say something more practical and useful:

Sunday November 4th, from 6:00 pm till 10:00 pm, the Young Entrepreneurs Association and Sawtouna are holding a debate for candidates of the 3rd district, to get to know their economic agenda and views on issues concerning the business sector. It will take place at the auditorium of the Jordan Kuwaiti Bank in Abdali, and will be broadcast on Amman Net 92.4 fm. Five candidates will be present: Dr Mamdouh Abbadi, Samar Haj Hassan, Odeh Qawwas, Tareq Khouri, and Adbel Raheem Biqa3i.

You need to confirm your attendance through facebook or by email (admin@yea.com.jo)
