Jordan's cities are small in size, but each has its own history and regional identity. Amman, the capital, is the political, economic and cultural center of the country, a gateway to Jordan's multiculturalism, nestled in the hills and blending modern urbanity with ancient ruins such as Roman amphitheaters and castles. The ancient city of Petra in the south, known as the "City of Roses", is famous for its magnificent Nabataean ruins, which were selected as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2007, and is Jordan's most eye-catching tourist card. In the north, Jerash has well-preserved remains of the ancient Roman city-state, with stone pillars and magnificent theaters, showing the shock of "Pompeii in the Middle East". Aqaba in the west is Jordan's only seaside city, with the azure waters and coral reefs of the Red Sea attracting scuba diving enthusiasts from all over the world, and as an important port, it combines leisure and commercial vitality. Together, these cities portray Jordan's unique blend of ancient and modern charm.
