What to see in Amman

Amman is a multifaceted city where antiquity coexists with modern life. The capital of Jordan has grown on seven hills and keeps traces of the Phoenicians, Ammonites, Romans and Ottomans. There is a cozy oriental atmosphere, wide embankments are intertwined with lively quarters, and each street tells about the rich history and hospitality of local residents.

Manufactures and facilities

The man-made sights of Amman amaze with the variety: the majestic Ragadan Palace, Roman Square and the Nymphaeum Fountain, unique mosques - the Mosque of King Abdullah I and the amazing Abu Dervish Mosque on one of the hills. Modern architecture is represented by the Abdoun Bridge, and City Mall and Mecca Mall are suitable for shopping and walking. In the vicinity of the city, traces of ancient civilizations are visible - the watchtower of Rujm al Malfuf and Shobak Castle, as well as the famous desert castles of Qusayr Amra and Qasr Al Haran.

Natural attractions and places

The natural corners around Amman offer no less impressions: mountains and hills, picturesque views of the suburbs, the proximity of the Dead Sea and the desert landscapes of Wadi Ram. 50 km from Madaba is Mount Makavir with the remains of Herod's Palace, and the northern districts keep the ruins of Umm Qais (Gadara) with panoramic views. The Jordan River and baptism sites attract pilgrims and those seeking spiritual and natural experiences in the vicinity of the capital.

Build routes and visit interesting places
