Amman, capital of Jordan, is a fascinating city full of contrasts, a unique blend of ancient and modern, strategically located in a hilly area between the desert and the fertile Jordan Valley.
In the commercial center of the city, ultra modern buildings rub shoulders, hotels, trendy restaurants, art galleries and boutiques with traditional cafes and craft workshops. Evidence anywhere in the ancient past of the city.
Due to the prosperity enjoyed by the city today and its temperate climate, almost half of Jordan's population is concentrated in the Amman area. The districts are mainly residential streets and avenues lined with perfectly aligned and elegant white houses, as a municipal law establishes the use of local stone on the facade of the houses.
The center is much older and more traditional. There you will find smaller businesses producing and selling almost everything from jewelry to household utensils.
The people of Amman are multi-cultural, polite, hospitable and form a very diverse society. They welcome visitors and proudly display their fascinating and vibrant city.
