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 experience: thousands of young people gathering
before the entrance, the excitement, and later the unforgettable moment of the Pope’s arrival and the Mass.
