Situated at an altitude of approximately 750 meters, Amman is the capital and the main economic engine of Jordan. A city tour of Amman reveals a fascinating blend of ancient and modern architecture, reflecting its long and rich history. Originally built on seven hills over the citadel, Amman offers splendid views of the old city from its elevated vantage points.

Amman is a city of contrasts, ideally located on a hilly area between the desert and the fertile Jordan Valley. The earliest evidence of settlement in the area is the Neolithic site of 'Ain Ghazal. Over the centuries, the city has been known as "Rabbath Ammon," the capital of the Ammonites, then as "Philadelphia," and finally as Amman.

Visitors can explore many attractions in Amman, including the bustling Downtown (Souq), the historic Citadel, the Roman Theater, and various museums such as the Folklore Museum, the King Abdullah Mosque, the Royal Automobile Museum, the Abu Darwish Mosque, and the National Museums. A visit to Amman provides an opportunity to experience the vibrant culture and warm hospitality of the Jordanians.
