Ruins

See how all the buildings in the background are white? I can't remember if I mentioned before that it is actually a law that buildings in Amman have no color! It makes it really hard to become familiar with the different neighborhoods. There are some Roman ruins on top of one the hills, and we visited them the first week while on a small tour. Did you know that Amman used to be called Philadelphia? It's true. It was also originally built upon seven hills, much like another slightly more famous city, though nowadays it covers something like 27 or 29 hills.
