On Tuesday May 25th 7iber.com turns three years old, and we’re celebrating with a storytelling and open mic night on the beautiful terrace of Dar al-Anda in Jabal Luweibdeh, complete with balloons, cake, and birthday hats. Don’t miss it!
Summer is here; time to enjoy Amman’s evenings in the open air with outdoor concerts and screenings. Sign of Thyme are playing at the JARA Theater on Friday, and Autostrad are playing along with Egyptian-American musician Kareem Salamah at the Hussein Park Theater on Wednesday. On Monday, check out the Young Leaders Social Media Cafe launch, and two documentaries on poetry and music duos at the RFC’s Film House.
There’s plenty more, so read on and enjoy. We hope to see you on Tuesday.
