This has been going on every two years since 2002 and has become a recognized, big international event for military people to sel their wares. From what you descibe, the King and possibly a head os state were at the hotel. Also FYI, the gaurds don't carry AK47's. They carry US manufactured machine guns. The people in the tents were probably gypsies and not beduins. I too see the people at the traffic lights. I feel sorry for them but they can also be an annoyance when you just don't want to buy what they have to sell. Nice to see Amman from your eyes.
