Amman, the capital of Jordan, is a fascinating city of contrasts – a
unique blend of old and new, situated on a hilly area between the desert
and the fertile Jordan Valley.
In the commercial heart of the city,
ultra-modern buildings, hotels, smart restaurants, art galleries and
boutiques rub shoulders comfortably with traditional coffee shops and
tiny artisans' workshops.
Amman’s neighborhoods are diverse and range in
cultural and historical context from hustle and bustle of the downtown
markets to the art galleries of Jabal Lweibdeh and the modern shopping
district of Abdali.
