Gaceta de Banderas, no. 76, April 2002, includes a report by Michel Lupant on the flag of Amman, the Jordanian capital:

Flag of the city of Amman (Jordan): a green flag with yellow arch and dark brown circle [sic]. That flag flies on top of city buildings.
The image actually shows a central logo-like emblem consisting of a golden stylised triple archway, whose base is replaced by some golden Arabic lettering, the whole backed by three 'concentric' brown crescents reversed (i.e. with their points to bottom). I wonder if the Arabic writing —in the same style as the one used in the Takbir bordering the stripes of the Iranian flag— reads 'Amman'.
