A **district** (Arabic: لواء; plural: ألوية) is one of the [administrative centres](/source/Administrative_centre) ("chief towns") in [Jordan](/source/Jordan).[1] The twelve [governorates of Jordan](/source/Governorates_of_Jordan) contain fifty-two *alwiya* which are listed below by governorate. In many cases the name of the chief town is the same as the name of the [district](/source/Liwa_(Arabic)) (*liwāʾ*) or [sub-district](/source/Kaza) (*qaḍāʾ*) administered.[dubious – discuss]
