Amman Governorate, Administrative division in central Jordan
The Amman Governorate extends across 7,579 square kilometers of varied terrain, encompassing both urban developments and agricultural lands in central Jordan.
The territory underwent significant administrative changes in 1994 when the Madaba region separated from Amman Governorate to form its own administrative district.
The governorate accommodates multiple educational institutions, including 24 universities and colleges, with the University of Jordan standing as the oldest academic establishment.
The administrative center operates from the Abdali district, housing government offices and parliament buildings that manage regional affairs and public services.
The population demographics shifted from 88% Jordanian citizens in 2004 to 63.8% by 2015, reflecting substantial regional migration patterns.
