The City
Unordinary it is! the capital of Jordan is in the heart of the middle east and it is the gate of the holy city of Jerusalem.
Old, worn out, tired & dark, but this is not the real picture of it. you need to look deeper to, to search harder as it is not a trip in willy wonka chocolate factory, but you’ll get more than the golden ticket at the end!
Tune with me to the end to discover the hidden gems of my hometown history.
Ancient Amman
Records to romanian even older you can find it to the city, it was in the heart of the ancient world between the romanian and the persian empires, it was called Philadelphia “brotherly love”.
Many monuments around the city can be found such as Roman Amphitheater, The Citadel, Temple of hercules and the old downtown.
Many amazing historical location to visit, can be used as a photo shoot sessions and just see the history moments of the middle east.
Many Romanian and islamic architecture around the city can be seen.
The shadows of these culter are casting on the city and the people.
The amazing and diverse cultures of the people who lived on the city is just amazing and provide such rainbow on the city history.
The city monuments just show how much the people loved the city, iwas trying to capture this picture through the pictures of their great accomplishments in the city.
The City municipality corporate with the ministry of culture and the tourism authority are trying their best keeping the location clean and tidy, introducing the sites to the foreigners and renovation a few part of the location as per the original design.
Hope that enjoyed the trip, I was trying to keep short as much as I can and introduce as many visual representation as much as I can, Keep tuned for the second part to discuss the modern city of Amman, Hope this part was casting the ancient shadow of the city out of the other many shadows the city possess.
