Amman

💡 About Amman

Amman, the capital of Jordan, is a city built across nineteen hills where gleaming white stone houses tumble down the slopes and ancient Roman ruins sit amid a modern, cosmopolitan Middle Eastern metropolis.

One of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, Amman preserves a Roman theatre carved into a hillside and a hilltop Citadel with temples spanning the Roman, Byzantine and Umayyad eras. Below, the downtown souks buzz with spice merchants and coffee sellers.

Amman is the gateway to Jordan's wonders — the rose-red city of Petra, the desert of Wadi Rum and the buoyant waters of the Dead Sea. Safe, friendly and welcoming, it offers a warm introduction to the hospitality of the Arab world.
