Armenians in Jordan

The early Armenian refugees in Jordan resided mainly in places like Ma'an, Shobak, Al Karak and Madaba and Russeifa.

Nowadays, the majority of the Armenians lives in the capital Amman, with a few families in Irbid, Aqaba, Madaba and Zarqa.

Armenians have worked in photography, fashion, car mechanics and in professional businesses and small trade.

Those organizations aim to serve as a gathering for members of the Armenian community through engaging in various activities such as arts and culture, sports, dance, scouting, women activities, youth and charitable associations, and celebration of national events.

In addition, Watany Sporting Club won Jordanian Basketball League tournament in 1963.
