Book flights to Amman
Amman is Jordan's capital and largest city, known for its fascinating blend of old and new. Perched on rolling hills between the desert and the fertile Jordan Valley, Amman offers a unique mix of ultra-modern buildings, art galleries, and boutiques alongside traditional coffee shops and historical sites. One of Amman's nicknames is "The City of Stairs" due to its hilly terrain. A visit to Amman wouldn't be complete without exploring the Jabal Al-Qal'a citadel, which offers stunning views of the city and is home to the Roman Temple of Hercules and the Umayyad Palace, an architectural marvel from the 8th century. Another must-see is the Roman Theatre, a well-preserved 2nd-century amphitheater that still occasionally hosts events.
