La Storia Tourism Complex

TIME : 2016/2/19 3:47:35

This new ethnographic diorama, 2km before Mt Nebo on the Nebo–Madaba road, features an exhibition of tableaux billed as depictions of the major religious, historical and cultural highlights in the heritage of Jordan. Noah's Ark, complete with stuffed badger and ducks, marks the entrance of this fun, eccentric exhibit that is already proving a big attraction with nationals. The evocation of Bedouin and village life in the ethnographic scenes provide an interesting commentary on fast-disappearing Jordanian traditions.

An on-site handicraft shop sells some quality items, such as mosaics and olive wood carvings, some of which are produced by artisans attached to the complex.
