Amman, the "cultural capital of the Middle East" is also the capital of Jordan. It is a modern city, more cosmopolitan than the other capital cities of the Middle East and is noticeably cleaner and generally more efficient than the others.

It has turned into something of a refuge for people having trouble in their own countries: the Palestinians, the Lebanese, the Kuwaitis and the Iraqis all headed straight for Jordan and all are accepted there, provided of course that they stay out of trouble and too much political activity.
