Amman

　　   The capital of Jordan, Amman, is a historic mountain city built on seven hills. With its pleasant climate and beautiful scenery, it is a city that blends tradition with modernity. In recent years, urban development has expanded rapidly to cover 14 hills, including notable ones such as Jabal Amman, Jabal Hussein, and Jabal Al-Lweibdeh. Currently, Amman has a population of about 1.9 million and serves as an important commercial, financial, and transportation hub in the Middle East.

　　   Amman boasts numerous historical sites and newly built modern structures, such as the Roman Theatre, Raghadan Palace, King Abdullah Mosque, Royal Scientific Society, Hussein Medical City, and the National Museum. It’s common to see camels and cars sharing the streets, while pedestrians display a colorful array of attire. The city is home to many art galleries, museums, and historic landmarks, and nearby attractions include the Dead Sea, the ancient city of Salt, and various desert castles. Amman and the western highlands enjoy a subtropical Mediterranean climate, characterized by mild weather—with average temperatures ranging from 7–14°C in January and 26–33°C in July. The period from October to May is the wettest and also the peak tourist season.
