Jordan's Umm al-Jimal village has been added to Unesco’s World Heritage List, in a move hailed by the country’s tourism and antiquities minister as a “great achievement”.
Unesco, which hosted a meeting of its World Heritage Committee in New Delhi, India from July 21 to 31, said on X last week that the earliest structures uncovered at Umm al-Jimal date back to the first century CE, “... when the area formed part of the Nabataean Kingdom”.
