Tuesday, the Ministry of Education participated in 'Amman Day', one of the Kingdom's centenary celebrations, which celebrates the arrival of the founder King Abdullah I to Amman on the second of March 1921. Amman became the capital of the Emirate of Transjordan, and later the capital of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.

The ministry building was decorated with colored lights with state flags to celebrate this occasion.

In a Cabinet session chaired by Prime Minister Bisher al-Khasawneh Sunday, it was announced that March 2 of every year will be designated as an official day to celebrate the capital, calling it 'Amman Day.'

In conjunction with this decision, the Greater Amman Municipality (GAM) will implement a set of media and field activities to mark Amman’s Day and its historical significance.

Designating a day which celebrates a city is an official event that many cities around the world have known about, during which the history of the city is evoked and its future is explored.

Amman is the largest city in Jordan and the country's economic, political and cultural center.

Jordan's largest city has a population of 1,275,857.
