About Amman Bab
A recurring accessibility and assistive-technology expo in Amman, created to open doors across the region.
A gate, by name
Bab (باب) is Arabic for gate or door, a word woven into the history of cities across the region. A gate is a way in, an opening, and an invitation. That idea gives the expo its name: Amman Bab, or باب عمان in Arabic, the Gate of Amman.
The name expresses our ambition for Amman to become a meeting point where people across the region gain access to products, knowledge, and new possibilities.
Why we exist
Assistive technology is advancing quickly, yet opportunities to explore, try, and compare it remain rare across the Arabic-speaking region. Amman Bab is being created to help close that gap with a recurring expo in Jordan and a wider regional outlook.
The format pairs an exhibition floor with product talks and a guest programme, adapting a proven international model for the region in Arabic and English from day one.
Knowledge is part of the experience
Amman Bab is more than a collection of booths. Workshops and presentations will help disabled people and their families explore what is available today, support professionals in sharing practice, and give the wider public a clearer understanding of accessibility and why it matters.
The first edition
The first edition is deliberately focused: more than 20 exhibitors across businesses, nonprofits, NGOs, community organizations, and sponsors; a talks programme; and free entry for every visitor. Dates and venue in Amman will be announced.
