Amman Downtown

Region
Central
City

The Balad (downtown Amman) is the oldest section of the city, being the one that was originally inhabited during the Neolithic period around 6500 B.C. The seven Jabals, or hills, around it, were occupied during the same time and formed the perimeter of the young city. Downtown Amman is made up of a myriad of souq markets and independently owned businesses. The area's long history leaves a large number of historical sites.
