What is the capital city of Jordan?

• A. Jordan City
• B. Petra
• C. Aqaba
• D. Amman

Answer: (D)

A capital city is the main political center of a country, where the government is seated and national leadership operates. For Jordan, that role is filled by Amman, which serves as the administrative heart of the country. Petra is famous as an ancient city and archaeological site, not the current capital. Aqaba is a coastal port city on the Red Sea. There isn’t a real city named Jordan City as the capital. So Amman is the correct choice because it is the country’s capital and administrative center.
