Amman City in Jordan

Despite the fact that Amman is not considered a particularly stimulating site, striking for the kind hospitality of its inhabitants, about 3 million between Muslims, Christians and Druze. It is an inevitable overnight stopping point for anyone traveling in Jordan.


Not everyone knows that .....
Amman is one of the oldest cities in the Middle East, with more than 5000 years of history behind. After being great and rich center for various civilizations, including the Assyrians, Persians, Greeks, Romans and the Umayyads, Amman was reduced again to a small village by a series of natural disasters, until the beginning of the twentieth century.

It has a richness of Roman ruins, including the citadel, the forum, the Odeon and the Theatre. Amman is favored by a mild Mediterranean climate.

Like Rome, the Jordanian capital was built on seven hills, and its gradual expansion brought the city to lie down at the feet of today more than 19 mountains (up to 1029 m above sea level).
