Enjoy Access to Leading Middle East Construction Markets

Access Two Huge Construction Markets - Iraq and Jordan - at One Exhibition in the Bustling, Cosmopolitan Jordanian Capital Amman

There is no better venue for Project Rebuild Iraq 2008 than the buzzing Jordanian capital Amman. Because of its geographical proximity to Iraq, Jordan has longstanding, close trade ties with the country. Many Iraqi entrepreneurs either live in, or regularly commute to, the Jordanian capital. It's the perfect place for international suppliers to meet Iraqi construction sector players. The flow of Iraqi entrepreneurs in and out of Jordan is streamlined by the Kingdom's business-friendly customs and immigration regulations. Construction sector professionals in Amman for the Project Rebuild Iraq 2008 exhibition will enjoy exposure to two of the region's most exciting construction markets. It's not just Iraq that's booming. Amman is fast developing into one of the region's most vibrant business hubs, thanks in part to its modern infrastructure and wide array of first-class hotels. Billions of investment dollars are pouring in from around the world. Among Amman's flourishing construction sector gems is the $800 million Al-Abdali Urban Regeneration Project, set on 80 hectares and billed as Amman's revitalized new Downtown. Also causing a stir is the $1 billion Gulf Finance House-initiated Jordan Gate development scheme, a futuristic project comprising two high-rise towers connected to a shopping mall, with a total built-up-area of around 220,000mÇ. Meanwhile, the $362 million mega-tourism Saraya Aqaba project will expand the beachfront of Jordan's Aqaba Dead Sea resort.
