Amman Highlights
Unlike grand Islamic cities of antiquity like Damascus or Cairo, Amman is a modern, culturally diverse Arab city. Quite Western in flavor, it's light years away from the typical clichés of Middle Eastern exoticism. In fact, there are two Ammans: conservative eastern Amman (which includes downtown) is home to the urbanized general population, while western Amman is a world apart with leafy residential districts, trendy cafes and bars, and impressive art galleries. It's impossible to gain a full understanding of Amman without visiting both areas.
