Natural-colour image of Amman, Jordan. The city forms a rough <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/V" title="V">Vshape</a> of <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Gray" class="mw-redirect" title="Gray">gray</a>. West of the city, the terrain is more rugged, with small valleys extending toward the <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Jordan_River" title="Category:Jordan River">Jordan River</a>. Part of the <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Dead_Sea" title="Dead Sea">Dead Sea</a> appears south-west of Amman, and agricultural fields in the Jordan River Valley appear west of town. East of the city, the land is flatter.
