Amman, the thriving capital and largest city of Jordan, holds the distinction as the country's economic, political, and cultural epicentre. Encompassing a population of over four million residents, Amman serves as the Levant region’s largest city and is ranked as a Beta− global city. Boasting a rich history that dates back to the 8th millennium BC, the city was once known as Rabat Aman, the capital of the Ammonite Kingdom, and later renamed "Philadelphia" by Ptolemy II Philadelphus, Pharaoh of Ptolemaic Egypt. Today, Amman's historic East side contrasts its modern West side, where you'll find bustling economic and commercial activity.

Notable attractions include the ancient Neolithic site of 'Ain Ghazal, replete with its enchanting human statues, and the city's Byzantine heritage, home to numerous churches and bishoprics. Amman eventually fell under the rule of the Rashidun Caliphate, which bestowed it with its current name and status as part of the Jund Dimashq district. Consistently evolving and embracing modernity, Amman stands proud as an attractive destination for multinational corporations and travellers alike.

When to visit Amman

The optimal times to visit Amman lie in spring (March-May) and autumn (mid-September to mid-November), when temperatures are pleasant and perfect for exploration with expert guides. Jordan experiences variation in weather by altitude, location, and season, making appropriate planning essential. Summer (June-August), while hot, presents an ideal opportunity for beachgoers and pool enthusiasts, whereas winter (December-February) can be challenging with bouts of rain and snow.

When planning your journey, consider social protocols and obtain trusted advice on local customs and currency. Numerous cultural events are well worth attending, such as the Aqaba Traditional Arts Festival, the Jerash Festival, and the awe-inspiring Dark Skies of the Desert. Whether relishing in the historical wonders of Amman or experiencing the city's lively contemporary atmosphere, your visit is sure to leave you with unforgettable memories.
