Amman
Amman
Jordan’s capital, Amman, is a remarkable city of contrasts, a singular fusion of old and contemporary, perched on a hill between the Jordan Valley’s fertile soil and the desert beyond. Traditional coffee shops and small artisan workshops coexist peacefully with ultra-modern buildings, hotels, restaurants, art galleries, and boutiques in the city’s commercial center. The cultural and historical backdrop of Amman’s neighborhoods varies, ranging from the vibrant downtown markets to the contemporary Abdali shopping district and the art galleries of Jabal Al Lweibdeh.
