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.
