Jordanian bagpipet

The bagpipe has held a unique place in Jordanian culture, this historic connection is being celebrated through striking graffiti in an Amman neighborhood, thanks to the work of artist Suhaib Attar.

In the capital’s bustling Khalda district, Suhaib’s vibrant mural has drawn widespread attention. The artwork depicts a Jordanian soldier, his red-checkered keffiyeh (headdress) standing out as he plays the bagpipe. The bagpiper’s round-faced, cheerful expression has earned him the nickname "Habes" among locals, and the mural has quickly become one of Amman’s most popular photo spots.

Through his art, Suhaib captures how younger generations in Jordan have embraced this iconic instrument, blending tradition with contemporary street culture.
