Capital known as “The City of Stairs” :
AMMAN Amman, the capital city of Jordan, is nicknamed “The City of Stairs”. This ancient city was established on seven hills, although urban sprawl has covered many, many more hills over the centuries. The city’s geography has led to residents relying on pedestrian stairs to move around the city with efficiency rather than using cars to wend their way from place to place. Many of the staircases have been adorned with umbrellas that provide a colorful canopy that provides shade for those walking below.
