Store Your Luggage Around Amman With BounceÂ
Amman is the largest city and the capital of Jordan, with a population of over four million people. The beginning of the city was founded way back in 7250 BC as a Neolithic site called Ain Ghazal. The name Ammon was chosen during the Iron Age for the Kingdom of the Ammonites, but it was changed to Amman during the Islamic period.Â
Located in the northwestern section of Jordan, the city is still full of ancient ruins. Explore the Amman Citadel from the fifth century BC, Rujm Al-Malfouf from the first century BC, Qasr Al-Abd from the second century BC, and the Temple of Hercules from 162 AD. As the fourth most popular tourism spot in the Arab Nation, Amman locals dote on visitors to make them feel welcome and at home.Â
The weather is typically warm and sunny all year long with hot summers in the upper 80s and winters in the upper 50s. If you want to get in some beach time, head to the Dead Sea where you can find several beaches to hang out on to get some rays and go swimming. Check out the Amman Public Beach or the Oh Beach, which are both on Jordan Valley Highway. Be sure to grab a small bottle of sunscreen to put in your pocket.Â
