Jordan: city hills and a route towards the sea

Amman and Aqaba introduce different settings within Jordan. The historic centre of Amman gives the capital an urban and cultural focus, while Aqaba offers a coastal point of connection. earthTV’s perspectives on Jordan invite an interest in the buildings, streets and landscapes of these destinations, with each place given its own context.

Getting to know Jordan through its cities

Amman’s historic centre offers several directions for discovery. The Jordan Museum, the Citadel and the King Abdullah I Mosque provide different cultural and architectural subjects, while the city’s hills give them a wider setting. Beginning with one district makes the capital’s scale more approachable.

Amman’s newer districts add another part of the urban picture. The area around the 8th Circle and the Jordan Gate Towers provides a different architectural reference from the historic centre. Considering these settings together helps reveal the variety within the capital itself.

Aqaba shifts the focus towards the coast, introducing another kind of destination within Jordan. Its urban setting and visitor places offer a starting point for understanding the country’s maritime edge. An interest in museums, city architecture or a coastal landscape can therefore give an exploration of Jordan a personal direction.
