The crowd had come from all over Palestine and the Arab world to attend the opening of the first Arab Exhibition in Palestine. The exhibition showcased agricultural and industrial developments taking place in the Arab world and displayed products manufactured throughout the region. It was the first of two Arab exhibitions to be held in Mandatory Jerusalem; the second opened in April 1934.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"rtl\">A company was established to manage the exhibition under the name of the Arab Exhibition Company Limited in 1932 with a capital of 5,000 Palestinian pounds for five thousand shares, but the amount paid was slightly less than two thousand pounds, so a public subscription was made in which the company invited every patriot in Palestine to participate in the company\u2019s shares to the extent that his financial circumstances allowed him, hoping that all national bodies would work to make the exhibition a success.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"rtl\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-278750 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/pub-8c6367eeb78947fb9a67f9647334fc7f.r2.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/The-Arab-exhibition-header.jpg\" alt=\"The Arab exhibition header\" width=\"373\" height=\"142\"><\/p>\n<p dir=\"rtl\">Arab countries including Egypt, Iraq, Hejaz, Najd, and Transjordan participated in the exhibition, which was supported by the Syrian government.

Instead of incurring a loss in the second exhibition for this reason, it recorded in its carryover account for the following year a net profit of 2 pounds and 310 milliemes.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"rtl\">On March 8, the board of directors of the exhibition held a meeting at the Arab Bank in Jerusalem to conclude a special resolution to dissolve the exhibition company and liquidate it voluntarily and distribute the share allowances to its owners. It was hoped that a large company would be formed to establish exhibitions in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"813\" height=\"480\" data-id=\"278714\" src=\"https:\/\/pub-8c6367eeb78947fb9a67f9647334fc7f.r2.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Arab-Exhibition-1933-Egypt-Pavilion-Small.jpg\" alt=\"Arab-Exhibition-1933-Egypt-Pavilion-Small\" class=\"wp-image-278714\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Egypt&#039;s pavilion and exhibition hall at the first Arab exhibition<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"579\" height=\"480\" data-id=\"278713\" src=\"https:\/\/pub-8c6367eeb78947fb9a67f9647334fc7f.r2.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Arab-Exhibition-1934-Certificate-Small.jpg\" alt=\"Arab-Exhibition-1934-Certificate-Small\" class=\"wp-image-278713\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Certificate awarded to exhibitors<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"817\" height=\"480\" data-id=\"278702\" src=\"https:\/\/pub-8c6367eeb78947fb9a67f9647334fc7f.r2.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Arab-Exhibition-1934-Building-Small.jpg\" alt=\"Arab Exhibition 1934 - Building (Small)\" class=\"wp-image-278702\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Drawing of the Arab Exhibition building<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%B5%D8%A7%D8%AF%D8%B1\"><\/span>Resources<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<p dir=\"rtl\">Self-Portrait of a Nation, The Arab Exhibition in Mandatory Jerusalem, 1931-1934, by the Abu Sa&#039;da Club, Jerusalem Quarterly, No. 77<\/p>\n<p dir=\"rtl\"><a href=\"https:\/\/palarchive.org\/index.php\/Detail\/objects\/219235\/lang\/ar_PS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">National Archives<\/a> \u2013 The Palestinian Museum<\/p>\n<p dir=\"rtl\">Palestine Newspaper, April 15, 1934<\/p>\n<p dir=\"rtl\">Arab Economics Journal 1935 \u2013 Issue 5 \u2013 March 1st<\/p>\n<p dir=\"rtl\">Al-Arab Magazine (archival issues) \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/eap.bl.uk\/collection\/EAP119-1-5\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">British Library<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"rtl\">Mirror of the East Newspaper (archival issues)<\/p>\n<p dir=\"rtl\">newspaper <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nli.org.il\/he\/newspapers\/difaa\/1935\/02\/13\/01\/article\/28\/?srpos=2&amp;e=------193-he-20--1--img-txIN%7ctxTI-%d8%a7%d9%84%d9%85%d8%b9%d8%b1%d8%b6+%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%b9%d8%b1%d8%a8%d9%8a+----1935---------1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Defense<\/a> (Archival preparations)<\/p>\n<p dir=\"rtl\">Some of the displayed images are from the collection of the professor and researcher. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Hammoda1991\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Mohammed Khalaf<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"rtl\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>You can follow more similar posts on the Arab Collector website through the following link:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"KPcSi0lGjrbaZcQ3VYM1g6BkHuRITzWXEqVG5Kmwzfd30E9C4vDRX8PTUwvoJ1FWjpBuN2UyDLN6\"><blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"BbsIFiLQNw\"><a href=\"https:\/\/arabcollector.com\/en\/oldest-coins-of-jerusalem\/\">Oldest coins of Jerusalem<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"\u201cThe Oldest Coins of Jerusalem\u201d \u2014 The Arab Collector\" src=\"https:\/\/arabcollector.com\/%d8%a3%d9%82%d8%af%d9%85-%d9%85%d8%b3%d9%83%d9%88%d9%83%d8%a7%d8%aa-%d8%a7%d9%84%d9%82%d8%af%d8%b3\/embed\/#?secret=KlMZqij8cY#?secret=BbsIFiLQNw\" data-secret=\"BbsIFiLQNw\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If an Arab tourist were to tour the Arab countries, diligently studying the economic conditions, traversing every tangible architectural landscape, and observing the evolution of minds and spirits, he would not be able to arrive at a comprehensive and all-encompassing picture like this magnificent, diverse, and multifaceted one known as the &quot;First Arab Exhibition&quot; in Jerusalem today.
