The first facilitated tours for students with disabilities (deaf and mute) at the Archaeology Museum have begun

In line with the museum's educational and informative mission. These tours aim to enhance scientific knowledge about Jordan's cultural heritage and history, and to foster national awareness among university students. They also aim to provide an educational and awareness-raising experience for the youth regarding the importance of our historical and cultural heritage.

These facilitated tours for students with disabilities (deaf and mute) started in collaboration with the Student Guidance Department in the Dean's Office of Student Affairs. They commenced today, Wednesday, from School of Archaeology and Tourism. These tours will be expanded to include other categories of students with disabilities, with visits to archaeology and folk heritage museums.

We thank Dr. Muath Al-Faqih, the curator of the Archaeology Museum, and Ms. Hanaa Bani Atta, the Quality and Development Liaison Officer, for their valuable initiative. We also express our gratitude to Ms. Ghada Hamad, the Dire​ctor of the Student Guidance Department, and Mr. Hassan Al-Khalil, the Sign Language Interpreter / Head of the Students with Disabilities Support Section, for their continuous cooperation.
