Welcome

The establishment of the Department of Cultural Resources Management came along with the vision of Queen Rania Faculty of Tourism and Heritage founded in 1999/2000 at Hashemite University. Such vision, which is the vision of the university as well, focuses on sustaining different tourism and heritage sites within Zarqa in particular, and other Governates in Jordan.
