Amman, Jorden - City of Hills

Originally named Philadelphia, Amman is an ancient city built on 7 hills, that has now expanded to 19 hills. Driving through the city is like driving in San Francisco, except the hills are twice as high and much steeper. Also, all the houses of Amman are various shades of sand, much like the desert they sit on.
