Amman

Spread across seven hills, Amman, the capital city of Jordan, is a sprawling modern metropolis. While many travelers to the Middle East overlook Amman in favor of more celebrated destinations such as Wadi Rum, the Dead Sea and Petra; those discerning enough to add Amman to their itinerary will enjoy the treasure trove of hidden surprises this modern capital city has to offer. The city features a bustling maze of busy streets and is divided into two distinct areas. The first is Western Amman, with its lush residential suburbs, elegant restaurants, stylish bars, and state-of-the-art shopping malls. This modern sophistication stands in sharp and intriguing contrast to the laid-back Eastern Amman, boasting a more traditional, earthy side. Spend your days visiting an array of attractions such as Amman’s Roman Amphitheatre the fascinating Jordan Museum or the countless luxurious cafes.
