Military ceremony held in Aqaba to replace Arab Revolt banner

AMMAN — The Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army on Thursday held a ceremony to replace the Great Arab Revolt banner in Aqaba, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

The ceremony was held at the Great Arab Revolt Square, which has the second highest mast in the Kingdom, after the pole at the Royal Hashemite Court, with a height of 127m.

Starting this year, the banner will be replaced regularly in a military ceremony, Petra reported. Several activities are planned this year around the Kingdom to celebrate the centennial of the Great Arab Revolt, which was led by Sharif Hussein Bin Ali, the great grandfather of His Majesty King Abdullah.
