All kinds of pics from my stay in Amman during the fall of 2005.

Amman, sometimes spelled Ammann (Arabic عمان ʿAmmān), is the capital city of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, a city of 2,125,400 inhabitants (2005 estimate), and the administrative capital and commercial centre of Jordan. It is the capital city of Amman Governorate.

On November 9, 2005, coordinated explosions rocked three hotels in Amman, shocking and angering the population of the peaceful city. The Islamist organization, Al-Qaeda, claimed responsibility. Despite the fact that the birthplace of since-killed terrorist leader Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi is the town of Zarqa, less than 30 km from Amman. The sheer brutality of the attacks — they targeted, among other things, a Muslim wedding procession — caused widespread revulsion across the widest range of Jordanians.
