Exhibition, the 2007 Lines Gallery Exhibition, and the 1984 Jordanian Art
Exhibition presented in Beijing, China.
He also served as the Promotion
and Design Section director for
Royal Jordanian Airlines between 2001 and 2002.
In the summer of 2021, he helped organize a musical evening hosted by the Abdul
Hameed Shoman Foundation, called “Andalusia
and Farouq Lambaz’s Muwashshahat.”

works from numerous countries, including the US, Sweden, and England. He has
