Activity itinerary

King Abdullah Mosque

Admission ticket not included

King Abdullah Mosque: Witness the architectural splendour of the King Abdullah Mosque, a modern masterpiece blending Ottoman and Mamluk influences. Appreciate its intricate mosaics, stained glass windows, and peaceful atmosphere.

The Citadel

45m
Admission ticket not included

Your tour kicks off at the Amman Citadel, a fascinating historical site perched on the highest hill in Amman. It’s a place full of incredible ruins from various civilisations, offering a glimpse into the city’s rich history.

Roman Temple of Hercules

Built during the Roman period, around 162-166 AD, under the governorship of Geminius Marcianus, this impressive temple was dedicated to the demigod Hercules. It even surpasses in size any temple in Rome itself. Today, visitors can admire the remaining majestic columns and a colossal stone hand, thought to be part of a giant statue of Hercules that once graced this site.

The Byzantine Church, The Citadel

Built around the 5th or 6th century AD, the ruins of this church beautifully showcase classic Byzantine design, featuring aisles, a central nave, and an apse. Be sure to look for the remaining columns and floor mosaics, which give lovely hints of its former grandeur.

The Umayyad Palace Complex, The Citadel

Dating back to around 720 AD, this extensive complex stands out as the most remarkable feature of the Citadel. The grand gateway, shaped like a cross, is a beautifully restored piece of Islamic architecture that truly catches the eye. It probably served as an important administrative hub and the residence of the governor. Be sure to see the impressive audience hall and the large water cistern, which was vital for the palace's water needs.

Roman Theatre

1h
Admission ticket not included

After the Citadel, head down to the magnificent Roman Theatre. The Theatre: This beautifully restored 2nd-century theatre once seated 6,000 spectators and is still used for events today. Climb to the top for a fantastic view. Jordan Folklore Museum & Museum of Popular Traditions: Located on either side of the theatre, these small museums offer insights into traditional Jordanian and Palestinian life, with displays of costumes, crafts, and mosaics.

The Jordan Museum

20m
Admission ticket not included

Located in Ras al-Ayn, this is Jordan's national museum and a world-class institution. It's the ideal place to contextualise all the historical sites you've visited. Must-See Exhibits: The 'Ain Ghazal Statues: These are among the oldest human-like statues ever found, dating back to around 7,500 BC. Their haunting, stylized features offer a deep connection to the Neolithic people who lived in this region The Dead Sea Scrolls: The museum features the Copper Scroll, one of the most fascinating of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Unlike the others, which are written on parchment, this one is engraved on copper & details a hidden treasure of gold & silver The Balu'a Stele: This inscribed stone from the Iron Age is a key artefact, showcasing the region's ancient languages & cultures Historical Galleries: The museum is arranged in chronological order, guiding you from the Palaeolithic era through the Nabataean, Roman, Byzantine, & Islamic periods, all the way to modern Jordan

Al Balad – Downtown Amman

This area is the historic heart of modern Amman, a lively maze of busy streets filled with exciting sights, sounds, and smells. Souk Al-Bukhari is one of the oldest and most well-loved markets, famous for its wide variety of souvenirs, antiques, and traditional crafts. The Gold Souk dazzles with its many shops that display stunning gold and silver jewellery, giving you a peek into how important precious metals are in local celebrations. Follow the delicious aromas to the Spice Souk, where you can discover everything from sumac and za'atar to dried herbs, nuts, and dates. It's a wonderful place to find unique and tasty souvenirs!

Grand Husseini Mosque (Pass by)

The mosque has a long history of worship at its site, originally built around 640 AD by Omar Ibn al-Khattab, possibly over the Roman Philadelphia cathedral ruins. Rebuilt in 1924 by King Abdullah I in honour of his father, Sharif Hussein bin Ali, it marked one of the first major projects of the Emirate of Transjordan, representing the city's Hashemite identity. For nearly a century, it has been the civic and religious hub of Amman, hosting demonstrations, celebrations, and prayers.

Rainbow Street

This well-known lively street shows the modern, cosmopolitan vibe of Amman. Historical Context: Once called Abu Bakr al-Siddiq Street, it earned the nickname Rainbow Street thanks to the Rainbow Cinema, a cherished local landmark. During the early 20th century, it was home to many distinguished Jordanian families and has consistently been a lively centre of activity. What to Do: Today, it's a lively spot enjoyed by both locals and visitors alike. Explore the charming cafes, art galleries, and rooftop restaurants that provide beautiful views of the city. It's a great place to unwind in the evening and reflect on the fascinating history you've experienced during your day.

Hashem Restaurant

A stop at a place like Hashem Restaurant is a cultural experience in itself. This no-frills institution has been serving classic Jordanian street food for decades and has hosted royalty and celebrities. The focus is on simple, fresh, and incredibly flavourful dishes like hummus, falafel, and foul (fava bean stew).
