Population

Since the 3rd millennium BC Chr. Semitic speaking population groups immigrated from Inner Arabia to Jordan in ever increasing numbers. This means that Jordan is now an Arab country. Around 12,000 Circassians were naturalized from the Caucasus in the 19th century. As a traditional, state-supporting class, the Bedouins in Jordan are still very important today.

Most tribes, however, have become sedentary or semi-sedentary. Around half of the population are refugees from Palestine and their descendants; most of them are now integrated. Overall (2017) 84% of the population live in cities. Big cities are Amman , Zerka , Irbid.

According to estimates by the Jordanian statistical office, there are still over 1.2 million Syrian and at least 300,000 Iraqi refugees in Jordan (2017).
