WHY AMMAN, AND ESPECIALLY DOWNTOWN AMMAN?

Well, Amman is a really ancient Metropolis, previously known as "Rabbath Ammon" named by the Ammonites in the 13th century BC - It was the capital of the Ammonites, and later re-named "Philadelphia", after Ptolemy II Philadelphus, the Macedonian ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom who reigned from 283 to 246 BC and then finally its present day name - Amman!

VISITING IN RAMADAN - WILL IT CURTAIL MY ENJOYMENT?

Definitely NOT !!!
Many people wonder what exactly happens in Ramadan - for example, "is everything closed?" What about the people fasting..? etc etc ...

Well, the good news is - everything carries on as normal with the exception being, that places open a little later in the morning and close a little earlier in the evening to facilitate the breaking of the fast of the faithful ... apart from that, everything is business as usual.

THE HASHEMITE KINGDOM OF JORDAN

The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (Arabic: المملكة الأردنية الهاشمية‎‎ Al-Mamlakah Al-Urdunnīyah Al-Hāshimīyah), is an Arab kingdom in Western Asia, on the East Bank of the Jordan River.

Jordan is bordered by Saudi Arabia to the east and south, Iraq to the north-east, Syria to the north, Israel, Palestine and the Dead Sea to the west and the Red Sea in its extreme south-west with Egypt just a short Journey across the Gulf of Aqaba to Sinai.

Jordan is strategically located at the crossroads of Asia, Africa and Europe. The capital, Amman, is Jordan's most populous city as well as the country's economic, political and cultural centre.

Jordan is named after the Jordan River, where Jesus is said to have been baptized. The name Jordan appears in an ancient Egyptian papyrus called Papyrus Anastasi I, dating back to around 1000 BC. The lands of modern-day Jordan were historically called "Transjordan", meaning "beyond the Jordan River". The name was Arabized into "Al-Urdunn" during the Muslim conquest of the Levant. During crusader rule, it was called "Oultrejordain". In 1921, the Emirate of Transjordan was established and after it gained its independence in 1946, it became "The Hashemite Kingdom of Transjordan". The name was changed in 1949 into "The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan". "Hashemite" is the house name of the royal family.
