AMMAN — The Jordanian Company for the Development of Cities and Facilities (JCDCF) announced on Saturday the approval of the final designs and the launch of engineering, structural and technical blueprints for the Amra International Convention and Exhibition Centre.
The project would serve as a major venue for exhibitions and large-scale events in the Kingdom and forms part of the first phase of the Amra City development, according to a JCDCF statement.
The company said that the centre, set to be the largest of its kind in Jordan, will include 16,000 square metres of exhibition space and 12,000 square metres for conventions, catering to a wide range of economic and commercial sectors.
With an estimated cost of JD50 million, the facility will accommodate around 15,000 people at a time. It will feature large halls for conferences, meetings and events, in addition to supporting service facilities and extensive parking areas.
The design is based on economic and technical feasibility studies and will be constructed in line with high sustainability standards, incorporating modern digital technologies. It will also be equipped to host multiple events simultaneously with high operational efficiency.
The centre aims to strengthen Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions (MICE) tourism, attract international events and host global summits, supported by its strategic location along international highways, near Queen Alia International Airport, as well as the Omari and Jaber border crossings.
The construction tender is expected to be issued by the end of the third quarter of 2026, with completion scheduled for the end of 2027.
The announcement follows other developments under the first phase of the Amra City project, including excavation and site preparation works for the King Hussein bin Abdullah II International Stadium, as part of efforts to position the Kingdom as a regional hub for sports, tourism and investment.
JCDCF, a fully government-owned company under the Jordan Investment Fund, said it has held extensive consultations with private sector experts and specialists to ensure the project meets both local and international standards for exhibitions and conference facilities. The company is responsible for overseeing implementation, facilitating investment opportunities and building partnerships to attract local and foreign investment to Amra City.
