Amman

Amman sprawls across seven hills in the heart of the Middle East, a city where ancient Roman theaters sit alongside contemporary cafés and street art, where the call to prayer echoes over traffic and modern architecture. It's a place of warm hospitality, layered history, and the kind of everyday energy that makes you feel alive — not a museum piece, but a living, breathing capital where East and West have always met.
