The capital, Amman: the White City.

🇯🇴The capital "Amman" is a hilly area located between the desert and the fertile Jordan Valley. It is spread over 19 hills and is a city with unique and charming old and new styles. It is not only the modern capital of the Hashemite Kingdom, but also the ancient capital, and one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world (evidence can be traced back to the humanoid statue Anghazal unearthed in the 8th century BC). Because of the white stone houses that are scattered and lined up in rows, the city is called the "White City". King Abdullah Mosque The first stop is to visit the King Abdullah I Mosque, which was built by the late King Hussein in memory of his grandfather. It is also the only mosque open to non-Muslim tourists. Visitors can be provided with a hooded black robe for free to enter the mosque. Jordan Museum The second stop is the Jordan Museum, located in the vibrant new city center of Ras al-Ain. It displays artifacts from Jordanian history and prehistoric archaeological sites in a series of beautifully designed galleries. One of the exhibition halls introduces the story of "Zheng He's Voyages to the West." Amman Citadel The third stop is Amman’s commanding height, the “Citadel Hill”. Passing through the bustling, shop-lined, crowded and noisy century-old city, we will stop by Rainbow Street, one of the oldest streets in Amman. The driver said that it is best to take pictures here when the lights come on, and there are basically cafes, restaurants and art shops here. "Castle Hill" has famous historical sites from various historical periods. Several large stone tablets at the entrance clearly record the history of Amman Castle Hill. Around the Castle Hill are square or spherical watchtowers built with large stones. The entire Castle Hill wall is about 1,500 meters long. The most famous building on Castle Hill is the Temple of Hercules built between 161 and 166 AD. Another important relic is the 1,300-year-old Umayyad Palace, an architectural relic from the Islamic period. The dome of its hall is particularly spectacular, and the walls are engraved with Arabic patterns. The last one is the remains of the "Byzantine Church" built in 550 AD, of which only a stone wall and a few short stone pillars remain. Roman Amphitheater Located at the foot of Castle Hill, the "Ancient Roman Theater" is deeply rooted in my heart. It is like a half sphere embedded in the city. Various concerts are still held here. You can imagine that it is a feast of hearing and vision that travels through thousands of years in a second🥰
