During crusader rule, it was called "Oultrejordain". The name was Arabized into "Al-Urdunn" during the Muslim conquest of the Levant. The lands of modern-day Jordan were historically called "Transjordan", meaning "beyond the Jordan River". The name Jordan appears in an ancient Egyptian papyrus called Papyrus Anastasi I, dating back to around 1000 BC. Jordan is named after the Jordan River, where Jesus is said to have been baptized. The capital, Amman, is Jordan's most populous city as well as the country's economic, political and cultural centre. Jordan is strategically located at the crossroads of Asia, Africa and Europe. Jordan is bordered by Saudi Arabia to the east and south, Iraq to the north-east, Syria to the north, Israel, Palestine and the Dead Sea to the west and the Red Sea in its extreme south-west with Egypt just a short Journey across the Gulf of Aqaba to Sinai. The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (Arabic: المملكة الأردنية الهاشمية Al-Mamlakah Al-Urdunnīyah Al-Hāshimīyah), is an Arab kingdom in Western Asia, on the East Bank of the Jordan River.

Well, Amman is a really ancient Metropolis, previously known as "Rabbath Ammon" named by the Ammonites in the 13th century BC - It was the capital of the Ammonites, and later re-named "Philadelphia", after Ptolemy II Philadelphus, the Macedonian ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom who reigned from 283 to 246 BC and then finally its present day name - Amman! Amman was initially built on seven hills- (like Rome) but now spans over 19 hills combining 27 districts, which are administered by the Greater Amman Municipality.
