This month, we take you on a journey to Tibneh, one of Jordan’s oldest cities. The Al-Alali eco-tourism project hopes to preserve the heritage of the ancient walled city while simultaneously revitalizing it by transforming Tibneh into an ecotourism destination. If successful the project will also provide jobs for the youth in this remote town, fostering economic growth and community development. Read about the rehabilitation plan and repurposing of heritage buildings using traditional conservation techniques and sustainable materials on page 28.
