Today’s Jordan celebrates Independence Day. On this day 75 years ago, the Hashemite Kingdom of Transjordan officially declared its sovereignty.
Today’s celebrations are traditionally marked with grand shows of fireworks, official events attended by local leaders, and the playing of the national anthem heard throughout the country.
The Jordanian flag, depicted waving proudly in the Doodle artwork, is displayed across the nation—from government buildings to private homes—as a symbol of national pride.
Independence Day is viewed by many as a chance to honor all of the sacrifices made that cleared the path for the sovereign Jordan of today. It is also a time of recognition for future generations of Jordanians that continue to represent the great nation as a leader of peace and tolerance, both within its borders and around the world.
Every year, the country, the leader of the homeland, and every Jordanian home are fine under the wise Hashemite leadership.
