Itinerary and highlights
The Roman Theater in Amman, built in the 2nd century AD, is a stunning example of Roman engineering. Carved into a hillside, it could seat 6,000 spectators for performances and events. Its remarkable acoustics and tiered seating offer a glimpse into ancient entertainment. Climb to the top for panoramic views of downtown Amman and the Citadel. A must-visit for history and architecture lovers.
Located near the Roman Theater, the Odeon is a smaller, intimate amphitheater built around the same period. With a capacity of about 500, it was likely used for musical performances and meetings. Its well-preserved structure and proximity to the main theater make it a quick but fascinating stop to explore Roman cultural life.
The Nymphaeum is a partially restored Roman public fountain complex dedicated to water nymphs. Built in the 2nd century AD, it once featured elaborate decorations and water features. Though only fragments remain, it offers a glimpse into the daily life and architectural beauty of ancient Philadelphia (modern-day Amman). A quiet, reflective spot in the bustling city.
The Grand Husseini Mosque, located in downtown Amman, is one of the city’s oldest and most iconic religious landmarks. Built in 1924 by King Abdullah I on the site of an ancient mosque dating back to the Umayyad era, it features a striking pink-and-white stone facade. The mosque serves as a vibrant center for worship and community gatherings, reflecting Jordan’s rich Islamic heritage. Visitors can admire its elegant minarets and serene atmosphere, making it a peaceful retreat in the heart of the bustling city. Modest dress is required for entry.
We'll take a walking tour in downtown, you can optionally buy some souvenirs from the local shop, and then we'll enjoy a traditional sweets "Knafeh" from an authentic sweets shop.
