History & Background: New Year's Day, observed on January 1st, is a public holiday in Jordan as it is in many other countries around the world. This holiday marks the beginning of the Gregorian calendar year and is not connected to a specific religious tradition, which makes it widely recognized across different communities within Jordan.
Traditions: Jordanians, much like others globally, may celebrate New Year's Eve leading up to New Year's Day with social gatherings, festive meals, and fireworks. It is a time for people to come together with family and friends to reflect on the past year and welcome the new one. In urban areas like Amman, you might find special events, concerts, or parties organized by hotels and entertainment venues.
Activities:
While these activities are commonplace, it should be noted that not all Jordanians celebrate New Year’s Day with equal fervor. As a country with a majority Muslim population that primarily follows the Islamic lunar calendar for religious occasions, some individuals may treat January 1st as just another day without any special observances.
