Amman Design Week extends to Iraq Al Amir and Aqaba
The Oman Design Week 2026 expanded its activities this year to include the Iraqi Prince area west of the capital and Aqaba for the first time, with the aim of blending design, nature, heritage, and local crafts. In Iraqi Prince, exhibitions and technological and artistic workshops are held at historic and archaeological sites, showcasing traditional crafts such as paper-making and weaving, with a focus on drawing inspiration from historical memory, local materials, and sustainable manufacturing methods. In Aqaba, the event takes place at the Aylah Oasis and features an exhibition and workshops centered around the city's context and its cultural and natural heritage, along with guided tours and dialogue sessions that focus on the theme of "accumulations" and change within the city's spaces. The goal of this expansion is to foster creativity and cultural exchange between local traditions and global artistic practices.
