Amman, the capital of Jordan , is a safe, friendly, and modern city of over 1 million people, which geographically straddles seven hills and historically sits astride many centuries.
Amman is known in the Old Testament as Rabbath Ammon, and in Greeko-Roman times as Philadelphia , the city of Brotherly Love. This strategic area was settled or crossed by a restless cast of characters: Ammonites, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantine, Umayyads , Crusaders are among the more familiar.

 

There are many beautiful sights in Amman. One of them is the Roman theatre. It is the most impressive remnant of the Roman city of Philadelphia. Built in the 2nd century AD, it holds 6000 people and is cut into the side of a hill that once served as a giant graveyard. To the east stands the Odeon, built around the same time and used mainly for musical performances. The city's main fountain, or nymphaeum , is to the west. North of these ruins, on its own hill, is the Roman citadel, the garrison  for centurions. Most of the buildings are now rubble, but you can see Roman, Byzantine and Muslim architecture. There's also a National Archaeological Museum on the site as well as Folklore Museum and the Traditional Jewels & Costumes Museum. To the north of the city you'll find the Monument to the Unknown Soldier, which includes a small museum on Jordan's military history.

Modern Amman offers the most up-to-date convention and communication facilities and all else that a modern cosmopolitan city has to offer. Its strategic position & soothing atmosphere  makes it one of the foremost centers of finance and trade in Middle East.
