Project Description

Amman

The earliest evidence of settlement in the area is a Neolithic site known as ‘Ain Ghazal. Its successor was known as “Rabbath Ammon”, which was the capital of the Ammonites, then as “Philadelphia”, and finally as Amman. It was initially built on seven hills but now spans over 19 hills combining 27 districts.

The city is among the most popular locations in the Arab world for multinational corporations to set up their regional offices, alongside Doha and only behind Dubai. It is expected that in the next 10 years these three cities will capture the largest share of multinational corporation activity in the region.

Amman is considered one of the most liberal and westernized cities in the Arab world. The city has become one of the most popular destinations for Western expatriates and college students who seek to live, study, or work in the Middle East or the Arab world in general.

The New York Times described Ammani cuisine as a product of several cuisines in the region, writing that it combines “the bright vegetables from Lebanon, crunchy falafels from Syria, juicy kebabs from Egypt and, most recently, spicy meat dishes from Jordan’s neighbor, Iraq. It’s known as the food of the Levant — an ancient word for the area bounded by the Mediterranean Sea and the Arabian peninsula. But the food here isn’t just the sum of its calories. In this politically, religiously and ethnically fraught corner of the world, it is a symbol of bloodlines and identity.” However, the city’s streetfood scene makes the Ammani cuisine distinctive.
