Amman Governorate, Administrative division in central Jordan
The Amman Governorate is an administrative division in central Jordan that spans varied terrain with both urban and rural areas. The region contains densely populated zones alongside agricultural land and houses the government centers that coordinate regional administration.
The current boundaries were established in 1994 when part of the territory separated to form a new administrative unit. This change affected the size and governance structure of the region.
The area hosts a wide range of schools and higher education centers that shape daily activities and social life. People from various backgrounds use these institutions, making education a defining feature of community life here.
Visitors should know the region offers a mix of urban services and rural areas to explore. The best time to visit is during milder seasons when temperatures are comfortable for getting around.
The population makeup of the region has shifted notably as people from outside areas have moved in over time. This change has shaped the character of the place and makes it more diverse today than it was decades ago.
