The seven hills of Amman are an enchanting mixture of ancient and modern. Honking horns give way to the beautiful call to prayer which echoes from the stately minarets which grace the city. Gleaming white houses, kabab stalls and cafes interspersed with bustling markets "known in Arabic as souqs" and the remains of civilizations and ages long past.
Sunset is perhaps the best time to enjoy Amman, as the white buildings of the city glow in the fading warmth of the day. The greatest charm of Amman, however, found in the hospitality of it's residents. Visitors to Amman and the rest of Jordan, for "that matter" continually surprised by the genuine warmth with which they are greeted. "Welcome in Jordan" is a phrase visitors will not soon forget.
