Amman, the capital of Jordan, sits in the Levantine region of western Asia. The city spreads across seven hills and features the Roman Theatre, Citadel, and Byzantine churches reflecting its layered history. Visitors explore the downtown markets, visit the Jordan Museum to learn ancient history, hike surrounding hills, and sample traditional Levantine cuisine at local restaurants and cafes.
Amman Governorate is the most populous and politically central of Jordan's twelve governorates, encompassing the capital city of Amman and surrounding districts across the central highlands. Situated at an elevation of roughly 700 to 1,000 metres above sea level, the region connects the Jordan Valley to the west with the Eastern Desert Plateau, positioning it as both a geographic crossroads and the country's primary entry point for international visitors.
