"Amman" Amman by freya_heaven

I found Amman to be a likeable city,

Before I arrived I got myself prepared for the shock of being in a Middle Eastern city, (as I was initally totally unprepared for the manicness of Cairo! ), busy, very noisy, people just everywhere, but It felt more like a Provincial City rather like a Capital (in my books thats a compliment!). The people were so friendly

I dont feel I really got to grips will Amman, (Ha....... excuse the pun) so I think another visit in the future is on the cards.

Dont forget to have a look at my other JORDAN related pages;

JORDAN
JARASH
KARAK
MADABA including MOUNT NEBO
PETRA
AQABA

Plus lots more places coming soon

    Did a great job on Jordan pages... I actually lived there for three years ... in West Amman - Shmensani area. By the way, I can translate the song for you :-) He's supposed to be very famous Egyptian singer.

    The name you are looking for is Abdallah mosque... It's relatively recent and is/was the biggest one in Amman. The actual king is indeed building an even bigger one...
