Aleppo, a historic city in northern Syria, is located in Aleppo province near the Turkish border and was once an important trading hub on the ancient Silk Road. This ancient city of more than 8,000 years incorporates the imprints of Arab, Persian, and Roman civilizations, and its magnificent citadel, ancient mosques, and traditional bazaars (such as the Great Market of Aleppo) showcase a rich cultural heritage. As one of the largest cities in Syria, Erek has long been a regional economic and cultural center throughout its history, and despite the damage caused by the conflict in recent years, its unique architectural and human heritage continues to attract the world's attention, and it is now gradually moving towards recovery and reconstruction.
Located approximately 35 kilometers south of Amman, the capital of Jordan, Malka International Airport is the country's primary international aviation hub and the base of operations for Royal Jordanian Airlines. Officially known as Queen Arya Amman International Airport in honor of the late Queen Arya of Jordan, the airport serves all of Jordan and the surrounding region.
The airport has three modern terminals with an annual capacity of over 9 million passengers.
