294 participants in total, 120 from Jordan, eight from Arab countries,
including Egypt, Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and the UAE, and 166 from
other countries, including Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France,
Germany, Greece, Hungary, Japan, Holland, Spain, Turkey, the UK, and the US.
The gathering,

to present a summary of their scientific output on Jordan and the Levant’s
history and archeology.
The conference,
which is held every three years, gives scholars the chance to converse and
share knowledge while also highlighting Jordan’s history on a national,
regional, and global scale.
In the last decade,
countries such as Germany, France, the UK, the US, Australia, and Italy have
competed to host the event alternately with Jordan.
