What is the name of Jordan’s capital city? Amman.

Amman is Jordan’s capital and largest city, located in the north-central part of the country. It is the main political, economic, and cultural center of Jordan, and its modern urban area spreads across a landscape of hills and valleys. The city is also commonly spelled عمان in Arabic and is pronounced with a long first syllable in English.

Amman has a history reaching back thousands of years. In the Iron Age it was known as Rabbath Ammon, associated with the ancient Ammonite kingdom. During the Hellenistic and Roman periods, it was called Philadelphia and became one of the cities of the Decapolis, a regional league of Greco-Roman settlements.

The modern name returned in the Islamic period. Amman grew rapidly in the twentieth century, particularly after becoming the capital of Transjordan in 1921 and after the arrival of the Hejaz Railway. A frequent mix-up is confusing Amman with Oman: Oman is a separate country whose capital is Muscat.
