About Amman

Amman, Jordan’s bustling capital, dates back to the Neolithic period. Perched on seven rolling hills by the Ajlūn Mountain, the city’s ever-changing skyline mixes historic landmarks, contemporary architecture and bustling neighbourhoods. Glimpse into Jordan’s storied past at the Citadel: will you visit the Temple of Hercules, the Umayyad Palace, or the remains of the sixth-century Byzantine church?

Wander through Amman’s bustling streets and discover a rich cultural tapestry. Whether it’s visiting Al Badad in downtown Amman for the local souks, or enjoying the diverse culinary scene along Rainbow Street, there’s something for everyone.

Beyond the city, Amman serves as a gateway to Jordan's breathtaking natural wonders. Take a three-hour drive south to the ancient city of Petra, one of the world’s most famous archaeological sites.
