City: Amman

Amman, the capital of Jordan, is a fascinating mix of ancient and modern. Originally built on seven hills, the city offers a unique contrast between the Roman ruins that crown its peaks, the bustling souks of the historic center and the cosmopolitan neighborhoods of the west, all under the characteristic white tone of its limestone.
