THE HASHEMITE KINGDOM OF JORDAN اململكة األردنیة الھاشمیة
Jordan is young country dense with history, full of n a t u r a l w o n d e r s a n d h is tor ica l s i tes , and a preferred des,na,on of travellers in the Middle East d u e t o i t s p e r f e c t combina,on of tradi,on and modernity, its openness and of course, its safety .
Situated just east of the River Jordan, it con,nues to be a bridge between ancient and new civiliza,ons and an open air museum in almost all its en,rety.
Amman | عمّان
The project will take place in Amman, the capital of Jordan. Amman is a young city, divided in 2 parts: urban West Amman, with residen,al districts, cafes, bars, malls and art
galleries; and East Amman, a more tradi,onal area.
At the heart of the city you must experience “downtown”, found at the boVom of the city’s many hills, and overlooked by the magisterial Citadel. It features spectacular Roman
ruins, museums and the hubbub of mosques, souqs (tradi,onal markets) and coffeehouses that are central to Jordanian life. In Amman you can also find plenty of
nighlife with its shisha’s cafes, bars and clubs.
