of Canaan that he would never enter. He died and

amman
A modern city Built on the sands of
time
|
| |
Amman, the modern and ancient capital of Jordan, is one
of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the
World. The city's modern buildings blend with the
remnants of ancient civilizations. The profusion of
gleaming white houses kebab stalls with roasting meat,
and tiny cafes where rich Arabian coffee is sipped in
the afternoon sunshine, conjure a mood straight from a
thousand and one nights. Amman was known in the Old
Testament as Rabbath-Ammon, the capital of the Ammonites
around 1200 BC; it was also referred to as "the City of
Waters".

the desert castles |

function of these original monuments of early Islamic art;
residences, weekend cottages, caravanserais, or hunting
lodges for the Omayyad rulers, they were also used as the
domain of Omayyad princes in the 8th Century.
