Amman
Jordan's modern capital sits on seven ancient hills — a city that is a practical and genuinely rewarding gateway to the greatest concentration of archaeological sites in the Middle East. Petra, Wadi Rum, the Dead Sea, Jerash, and Aqaba are all within easy reach. Amman itself has excellent food, a vibrant art scene in the Rainbow Street district, and some of the warmest and most genuine hospitality in the region.
