Amman

Amman is considered one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world.

During a business trip to Amman in 2009, I had the unique opportunity to witness Pope Benedict’s arrival at the stadium. It was an extraordinary and powerful experience,
seeing so many young people gathered before the entrance and later during the Pope's arrival and the Mass.
