Arar House Museum: Living tribute to Jordan's national poet
IRBID — Nestled in the heart of Irbid lies a powerful monument to one of Jordan's most celebrated literary figures, Mustafa Wahbi Al Tal, widely known by his pen name, Arar. Today, his family home has been transformed into the Arar House Museum, preserving his legacy as both a poet and patriot. The museum honours not only Arar's poetry but also his deep connection to Irbid. The house itself, which dates back to the British Mandate era, once belonged to Arar's family and was the place where he spent his childhood and early adult years. Built in the Damascene architectural style, the home carries the spirit of the past, complete with a century-old mulberry tree that still shades its courtyard. Arar (1899–1949), also known as 'The Poet of Jordan', was a pioneering literary figure whose poetry not only shaped modern Arabic verse but also reflected his deep commitment to Arab nationalist causes — foremost among them the Palestinian cause — and his solidarity with the poor and marginalised. He also worked as a teacher, lawyer, and administrative governor during his lifetime. Speaking with The Jordan Times, Director of Irbid's Culture Directorate Sultan Zghoul, said: 'Mustafa Wahbi Al Tal was chosen as the Arab Cultural Icon of 2022 by the Arab League Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organisation [ALECSO], a well-deserved honour that reflects his regional influence and poetic legacy.' According to Zghoul, the museum hosts a collection of historical photographs and personal belongings of Arar — including his study desk and rare images with King Abdullah I, the founder monarch of Jordan. 'In 1989, Arar's remains were relocated into the house, and it was transformed into a museum. Since then, it has received hundreds of visitors annually, becoming a unique cultural destination in northern Jordan,' he added. 'The museum attracts a wide spectrum of visitors — from students and families to intellectuals and ambassadors,' said Zghoul. 'We have also developed a long-term plan to host and receive a variety of cultural events here — including poetry evenings, heritage exhibitions, visual art shows, lectures, art workshops, and heritage festivals.' The director noted that the house is frequently visited by Arab poets and writers, who see it as a 'living tribute' to a man who helped shape Jordan's literary consciousness. Among the visitors was Bdour Sami, who described the museum as a 'cultural treasure.' 'I love this place — it is perfect for children and for anyone who appreciates poetry and culture. It is an important symbol of Irbid,' she said. Though modest in size, Arar House is rich in meaning — a space that offers more than historical insight; it continues to celebrate Jordan's cultural identity. As Zghoul put it: 'This is not just a museum. It is a living space for culture.'

Francophonie fest highlights Morocco-Kuwait bond
KUWAIT CITY, April 22: Ambassador of the Kingdom of Morocco to Kuwait Ali Ben Issa has confirmed the deep ties, cooperation, brotherhood and solidarity between Kuwait and Morocco under the wise leadership of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al- Sabah and King Mohammed VI of Morocco. In his speech during the Francophone Diwaniya that the Embassy of Morocco hosted on Tuesday with the heads of diplomatic missions in attendance, Ben Issa stressed 'this moment that we share is not merely a linguistic or cultural celebration; as it is rather a living expression of pluralistic identity, permanent dialogue between nations, and a renewed commitment to promote the values of peace, tolerance, diversity and solidarity. We proudly carry these values as members of the great French-speaking family.' He explained, 'We decided to use the name, 'Diwaniya', for this celebration 'because this beautiful tradition has a stunning cultural and historical significance that reflects the depth and authenticity of the pure Kuwaiti traditions deeply rooted in the brotherly Kuwaiti people, for whom we wish further progress and prosperity.' He stressed that the Kingdom of Morocco, under the enlightened leadership of King Mohammed VI, has always been a constant and convincing part of this Francophone dynamic. He said that the participation of the Embassy of the Kingdom of Morocco in the celebration of Francophonie Month is an affirmation of the cultural and linguistic diversity of the Kingdom of Morocco, rich in its Arab, Amazigh, African, Mediterranean and Andalusian cultural tributaries. He added, 'This participation is also a way to affirm Morocco's commitment to the larger Francophone family by sharing the same universal values of peace, dialogue, and solidarity -- values that the Kingdom of Morocco shares with its sister, the State of Kuwait.' He asserted 'the Kingdom, which has always chosen dialogue over withdrawal and bridges over walls, has been working hard for several years to promote dynamic cooperation among the countries in the South, not only in Africa, but also with the Arab world, Europe, America and Asia. This openness is the essence of our identity.' He continued, 'I take this opportunity to congratulate Kuwait on the declaration of the late Kuwaiti poet Ahmed Al- Adwani as a symbol of Arab culture by the Arab League Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization and the Moroccan Ministry of Culture on the occasion of the opening of the Rabat International Book Fair.' He also praised the Moroccans residing in Kuwait; indicating that they work in various fields, including university professors and teachers who greatly contribute to promoting Francophonie and building bridges of cultural communication with their Kuwaiti brothers and sisters
