Amman, Jordan

Amman Jordan

Amman, considered by some as the cultural capital of the Middle East, is the capital of Jordan. Located on a hilly area between the desert and the fertile Jordan Valley, Amman today is a modern and cosmopolitan city full of ultra-modern buildings, hotels, smart restaurants, art galleries and boutiques but you can see evidence of the city’s extensive past everywhere. The heart of the town is the Citadel with Roman and Ammonite ruins. From the top of the Citadel, you can see a wonderful landscape over the hills of the city. While the city we see may not be very old, on the hill of the Citadel there is evidence of the ancient history of the city that was Greek Philadelphia. There is an interesting Archaeological museum worth visiting. Nearby, there is the Roman theatre and some museums with interesting displays of mosaics, jewellery and costume. A walk around the city brings you to mosques and a surprising variety of churches, markets and shops. Amman is a busy city where the modern and the traditional coexist side by side. Moreover, Amman is the perfect starting point if you want to visit all the area around this town. From Amman, it is very easy to reach Jerash, Ajlun, Pella, the Dead Sea and the Desert Castles.
