Like most visitors, when I landed in Amman, I was itching to get to Petra and see the place that had filled my imagination since I was young.
My itinerary was planned with a couple of days in Amman first, and now I’m glad it was. Like most visitors to Jordan, I didn’t realize how fascinating Amman is. The capital and largest city is a mix of old and modern, spanning several empires and inhabited since Neolithic times.
