“The Roman theater and the Citadel were really worth seeing. In particular, from the Citadel, I can get a 360-degree view of the city of Amman, and it was my first experience in a place like this in my life. On the way through downtown, the traffic moved forward very slowly, which fortunately gave me a good idea of how people lived. The driver always tried to drive safely and was very attentive to me.”

Visit King Abdullah Mosque, the Citadel, Roman Theatre, old downtown, the Jordan Museum, and Royal Automobile Museum on the longer option. Your driver handles transport, but no formal guide is included, so arrange extra guiding if history is your main interest.

“If you’re visiting Amman as a tourist, this is the way to go. In some cities you might be able to do it yourself, but not here. Or it would be very inconvenient, and likely more expensive.
