Creating moments.

Shaping experiences.

OUR
STORY

Built in Jordan. Inspired by the world.

Since 2008, 16th of May has been creating experiences that bring people together, put places on the map and become part of the memories people carry with them.

What began in Jordan as a creative venture has evolved over nearly two decades into a multidisciplinary entertainment and experience company, with 165 Entertainment at its core and 165 Design as an integral part of its creative identity.

Along the way, we have produced some of Jordan’s most memorable concerts, festivals, cultural experiences, corporate productions and national celebrations — working with leading Arab and international artists and delivering productions across Amman, Aqaba, Petra and the Dead Sea.

Our work has grown in scale, but the principle behind it has remained unchanged:
Create something people will remember.

OUR
JOURNEY

A journey of constant evolution

We never set out to simply organize events.

We wanted to create them.

To take an idea and turn it into a place, a sound, a feeling and a moment shared by thousands of people.

Over the years, that ambition took us from event concepts and creative production into the world of large-scale live entertainment, festivals, cultural programming, corporate experiences and national occasions.

Each production brought a new challenge. A new artist. A new venue. A new audience. A new standard to meet.

And with every one, we grew.

The company we are today is the result of every production that came before it.

OUR TRACK
RECORD

From stages to landmarks

From intimate gatherings to audiences measured in tens of thousands, our productions have taken us across some of Jordan’s most iconic destinations.

Amman. Aqaba. Petra. The Dead Sea.

We have shared the stage with some of the biggest names in Arabic entertainment and welcomed international artists to Jordan, while producing experiences that bring together entertainment, culture, tourism and community.

Our work has also extended beyond entertainment. We have been entrusted with productions of national significance and with experiences that place Jordan in front of audiences far beyond its borders.

For us, every production is bigger than the stage.

It is an opportunity to create something that belongs to the place, the people and the moment.

WHY WE
DO IT

Because some moments deserve more than an audience. They deserve to be remembered.

A concert can be a night out.

A festival can be a gathering.

A national celebration can be a ceremony.

But when every detail comes together, they can become something more:

A memory shared by thousands.

That is what drives us.

We create experiences that bring people together, celebrate culture, amplify talent and give destinations a reason to be remembered.

And after 18 years, we are still building.

OUR
VISION

To shape the future of experiences in Jordan and beyond.

We envision a future where Jordan is not only a destination for extraordinary experiences, but a place where great experiences are conceived, created, produced and shared with the world.

For nearly two decades, we have built our journey around entertainment, creativity and the belief that experiences have the power to bring people together, create cultural connections and leave a lasting impact.

Today, that vision extends beyond the stage.

165 ENTERTAINMENT

We create and produce live experiences that bring artists, audiences, brands and destinations together.

165 DESIGN

We shape the creative identities and visual worlds that give those experiences meaning and character.

TICKETBERRY

We are building the digital connection between experiences and the people who live them — making ticketing more accessible, connected and seamless, while creating a platform designed to grow with the region’s entertainment industry.

Together, these platforms represent more than separate businesses. They are part of one vision: to build an ecosystem around experiences — from the first idea, to the first ticket, to the moment the lights go down.

We are not only creating events. We are building the ecosystem around them.

THE PEOPLE
BEHIND THE
MOMENT

Different strengths. One shared standard.

Great experiences may last a few hours, but they take months of thinking, planning, creating and executing.

Behind every production is a team bringing together creativity, commercial thinking, production expertise and operational discipline — working as one from the first idea to the final moment.

This is the team behind 16th of May.
