(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency)


Cairo, July 28 (Petra) -- The Islamic World Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ICESCO) congratulated Jordan on the inclusion of the Umm al-Jimal archaeological site in Mafraq Governorate on the World Heritage List.
The Umm al-Jimal, known as the "Black Oasis" due to the abundance of black volcanic rocks, was named Umm al-Jimal because camels were used as a means of transportation during trade caravans.
ICESCO lauded Jordan's efforts, represented by the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, to register this ancient site, as the Jordanian file submitted for registration represented a model of achievement and harmony between national institutions.
