LOCATION
Amman, the modern and ancient capital of Jordan, is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the World. The city’s modern buildings blend with the remnants of ancient civilizations. The profusion of gleaming white houses, kebab stalls with roasting meat, and tiny cafes where rich Arabian coffee is sipped in the afternoon sunshine, conjure a mood straight from a thousand and one nights. Amman is a safe and friendly city to walk around, and a stroll is the best way to discover its hidden treasures – lovely turn-of-the-century villas in Rainbow Street, glamorous modern residences in Abdoun, hidden gardens, and decorated shop-fronts where colorful tiles and curving Arabic script compete with elaborate window-dressing for your attention. Jordan is full of old and new.  Whatever you are feeling, you can find it in Amman. Feel like immersing yourself in culture and tradition? Take a walk downtown or visit the ’souq’, (marketplace). Missing “western” things? Go to Mecca Mall or Abdoun Mall and have a coffee at Starbucks or see a movie. Amman has everything you want in a safe and friendly environment.
