It was named Philadelphia during its Greek and Roman periods, and was finally called Amman during the Islamic period. The first municipal council was established in 1909. Amman witnessed rapid growth after its designation as Jordan's capital in 1921, and after several successive waves of refugees: Palestinians in 1948 and 1967; Iraqis in 1990 and 2003; and Syrians since 2011. It was initially built on seven hills, but it is now on the hills of 19 hills combining 27 districts, which are administered by the Greater Amman Municipality headed by its mayor Yousef Shawarbeh. Areas of Amman have their names from the hills (Jabal) or the valleys (Wadi) they occupy, such as Jabal Lweibdeh and Wadi Abdoun. East Amman is hosted in the city center.

Approximately two million visitors arrived in Amman in 2014, which made it the most visited city in the world and the 5th most visited Arab city. Amin has a relatively fast growing economy, and it is ranked Beta-on the global city index.

Day 2: Petra

Stop At: Petra By Night, Petra - Wadi Musa 71811 Jordan
Petra, originally known to its inhabitants as Raqmu, is a historical and archaeological city in southern Jordan. Jabal Al-Madbah in the valley of the mountains of the Arabian Gulf of Aqaba. Petra is believed to have been established as early as 9,000 BC, and was probably established in the 4th century BC as the capital city of the Nabataean Kingdom. The Nabataeans were nomadic Arabs who invested in Petra's proximity to the trade hub.

The trading business gained the Nabataeans considerable revenue and Petra became the focus of their wealth. The earliest historical reference to Petra was recorded by the Greek historians. The Nabataeans were, unlike their enemies, accustomed to living in the barren deserts, and were able to repel attacks by utilizing the area's mountainous terrain. They were particularly skillful in harvesting rainwater, agriculture and stone carving. Petra flourished in the 1st century AD when its famous Khazneh structure - believed to be the mausoleum of Nabataean King Aretas IV - was constructed, and its population peaked at an estimated 20,000 inhabitants.

Although the Nabataean Kingdom became a client for the Roman Empire in the first century BC, it was only in 106 AD that they lost their independence. Petra fell to the Romans, who annexed and renamed Nabataea to Arabia Petraea. Petra's importance declined as sea trade routes emerged, and after a 363 earthquake destroyed many structures. The Byzantine was witness to the construction of several. It was unknown to the world until it was rediscovered in 1812 by Johann Ludwig Burckhardt.

The city is accessed through a 1.2-kilometer-long (0.75 mi) gorge called the Siq, which leads directly to the Khazneh. Petra is also called the "Rose City" for the rock-cut architecture and water conduit system. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985. UNESCO has described it as "one of the most precious cultural properties of man's cultural heritage". In 2007, Al-Khazneh was voted as one of the New7Wonders of the World. Jordan's most-visited tourist attraction. Tourist numbers peaked at 1 million in 2010; the following period witnessed a slump due to instability around Jordan. However, tourists visited the site in 2018.
