Amman is both the gateway to Jordan's extraordinary heritage circuit and a significant luxury destination in its own right — the Four Seasons Hotel Amman, the St Regis, the Rainbow Street cultural district, and the Roman Citadel that commands the oldest part of the city.

The cultural dress context. Amman is a majority-Muslim Jordanian city — covered dress is appropriate in all public areas outside the hotel grounds. A PP linen shirt fully buttoned with linen trousers for men; a PP women's linen shirt fully buttoned with linen trousers for women. White or composed naturals throughout.

For the Four Seasons Hotel Amman. The tower above the Abdoun district — the most formally observed hotel dinner occasion in Jordan. White PP linen for the hotel pool; a navy PP linen shirt with linen trousers and leather shoes for the Four Seasons restaurant evening.

For the Roman Citadel. The Temple of Hercules, the Umayyad Palace, the views across the seven hills of Amman. A PP linen shirt in white with linen trousers and leather shoes. The white limestone of the Citadel rewards white PP linen at the most specific level.

For the Rainbow Street district. The most culturally observed pedestrian street in Amman — the cafes, the art galleries, the bookshops. A PP linen shirt in white or a composed natural with linen trousers and leather shoes.
