Apartments for Rent in Amman

Amman - the capital of Jordan- is constantly developing, it is highly desired by all the citizens of Jordan. Although its population is the largest compared to other cities across the kingdom but many people prefer to live there.

Moreover, it is the same for the western part of the city, the average price of a rented apartment is around JD 1000 per month.
