A young city in an ancient land – Amman brings the past and present together in the most graceful of fashions blending the old and new in the heart of the Middle East. Named Philadelphia by the Ancient Greeks, this city was all but forgotten until 1921 when it was chosen as Jordan’s capital. The ultra-modern buildings form the city’s skyline, but the architectural puzzle on which the city thrives is made up of a mixture of restaurants, galleries, museums, traditional coffee houses, mosques, markets and ancient roman ruins. Amman is a true Middle Eastern gem hidden in the desert, making it one of the easiest cities to visit, explore and enjoy!
