Amman in Photos

Jordan’s capital is a city of rich history, comprehensive architecture, contemporary dining experiences, vibrant culture and an ultramodern night-life.

From the bustling Souk to the timeless Citadel and the peaceful Mosques to the thumping nightclubs, no two areas are alike and no other city on earth is quite like Amman.

Here is a series of photos from my time in the city of contrasts.

About Seattle Dredge

Seattle is Lake Erie born, Lake Ontario educated, and is now living on Lake Huron. And no, she's never been to Seattle. After studying geology in Toronto, Seattle spent several years travelling the world on a full time basis, from Colombia, Morocco & Iceland, to Nicaragua, Jordan & the Philippines--and just about everywhere in between. Eventually, Seattle settled in Southampton, ON, and now spends her days going on local adventures, while continuing to pursue photography & videography around the Bruce Peninsula, and of course regular trips abroad.

I love photos, hate selfies (but maybe not that much), and really need to break out my camera again. I have friends on the move and it’ giving me traveler’s gimmes for color in Morocco, underwater hotel rooms in Zanzibar, ancient ghost cities in Turkey, elves in Iceland, book loving in Riga, and wandering in Amman.
