Workation in Zarqa: the essentials
Zarqa means the blue one in Arabic, after the river that runs through it, and the city dates only from 1902, when Chechen settlers arrived. Today it is Jordan's second most populous city, with more than 635,000 residents in 2015, and the country's industrial centre, home to its oil refinery. It has no old town to speak of and very little tourism, so expect an everyday working city close to Amman. The Hashemite University lies on its outskirts, and the desert castles to the east, among them UNESCO-listed Quseir Amra, are the main excursion. Queen Alia airport is about 55 km away.
