| About Turab | ||
|
' TURAB ' literally means ‘earth' or ‘soil' in Arabic and is an acronym for Turath Al-Urdun Al-Baqi meaning ‘Jordan's Everlasting Heritage'. This is reflected in TURAB 's logo which is an hourglass on its side symbolizing the sands of time standing still. TURAB was founded in 1994 in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, and is chaired by H.R.H Prince Ghazi bin Muhammad, The Personal Envoy of H.M. The King and Special Advisor to H.M. The King.
Its official purpose is to ‘protect, preserve and propagate traditional Jordanian, Arab and Islamic culture and heritage’. In February 2001 TURAB became part of Aal al Bayt Foundation for Islamic Thought. TURAB is an official,
registered, tax-free charity. |
