Welcome to
Amman
Jordan
Amman is one of the Middle East's most liveable and welcoming capitals — a modern Arab city of great warmth and remarkable cuisine built across seven (now 19) hills in the Jordanian highlands. The city's Roman Theatre, one of the best-preserved in the region, and the Citadel's temple of Hercules overlook a growing metropolis whose café culture, gallery scene, and food have made it a regional hub for creativity and cuisine. Jordan's safety and exceptional hospitality culture make Amman the ideal base for visits to Petra, Wadi Rum's Mars-like desert, the Dead Sea, and the ancient Decapolis cities, and the mansaf and falafel of Rainbow Street are among the great pleasures of a Jordan visit.
