Amman, the capital of Jordan with about 3 million people, is a fascinating city of contrasts – a unique blend of old and new, ideally 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. Everywhere there is evidence of the city’s old past.

Almost half of Jordan’s population is concentrated in the Amman area. The people of Amman are considered multi-cultural, multi-denominational, well educated and hospitable. They welcome visitors and take pride in showing them around their fascinating and vibrant city.

Amman is the center of education in Jordan with a number of universities, colleges and academies.
