Jordan’s culture in the limelight all day long: featuring national celebrities, reports including interviews in the streets of Amman for a new angle on the capital’s story and history.

“After French, Arabic is the top priority language for AEF. So we have to develop it and that’s what we’re doing at Monte Carlo Doualiya. The Arabic language is at the heart of what Audiovisuel Extérieur de la France cares about,” said Audiovisuel Extérieur de la France CEO Alain de Pouzilhac.
Monte Carlo Doualiya Managing Director Geneviève Goëtzinger will be in Amman Tuesday 27 April.
