Did You Know?
Amman was a village of roughly 2,000 people in 1900 and now holds over four million — growth driven largely by successive waves of refugees, which has made Jordan one of the largest hosts of displaced people per capita in the world.
The clock: Jordan moved to permanent UTC+3 in 2022, abandoning the seasonal change. It now shares an hour with Iraq and Saudi Arabia rather than with Israel next door.
