amman

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, hobnob ultramodern buildings, hotels, trendy restaurants, art galleries and boutiques to traditional cafés and craft workshops. Evidence anywhere in the city's ancient past.

Due to the prosperity we enjoy today in the city and its temperate climate, almost half of Jordan's population is concentrated in the Amman area. The suburbs consist mainly of perfectly aligned streets and avenues lined with elegant houses and white, as a municipal law provides for 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 housewares.

The people of Amman are multicultural educated, hospitable and form a very diverse society. They welcome visitors and proudly display their fascinating and vibrant city.
