Amman

Amman derives its name from the ancient people of the Ammonites, whose capital the city had been since the 13th century BC.

ʿAin Ghazal, a Neolithic site near Amman, was inhabited by around 3000 people at its height around 7000 BC.

Amman is situated on the East Bank Plateau, characterized by three major wadis running through it.

Amman is the fourth most-visited Arab city and the ninth highest recipient of international visitor spending.

The population of Amman reached 4,007,526 in 2015, containing about 42% of Jordan's entire population.
