Amman

 city, capital city of state/province/region, capital city of country

The capital of modern day Jordan, this metropolitan yet laid back city offers the ultra-modern a chance to mingle with the ancient, both in terms of its monuments and its culture. The city has alternatively been known as Rabbat Ammon and Philadelphia, depending on who got to name it at the time.

Amman's population has been estimated around 4,142,629 as of 2014, according to Amman's mayor Aqel Bitaji, quoted in the local newspaper Jordan Times.

One of Amman's often overlooked features are its famous hills, seven in total, that, like San Francisco, the city laps over like waves of humanity. The city is overlaid on a plateau some 3000 ft. above sea level, which owes itself to mild summers and cool winters.
