Jordan’s Umm al-Jimal village has been added to UNESCO’s World Heritage List, a move hailed by the country’s tourism and antiquities minister as a “great achievement”.
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), which is hosting a meeting of its World Heritage Committee in New Delhi in India, said on X on Friday that the earliest structures uncovered at Umm al-Jimal date back to the first century AD, “when the area formed part of the Nabataean Kingdom”.
