Itinerary

The guide shows you around and explains the history. Visit Hadrian's Arch, built in 130 AD to honor the visit of Emperor Hadrian. Pass the Hippodrome offering space for 15,000 spectators, the impressing Forum, continue to the Temple of Artemis, the Colonnaded Street and the Nymphaeum.

About Amman
Amman, Jordan's capital, spreads across a series of hills, with Roman ruins, crowded downtown souks and a warm welcome at the start of any Jordan journey.
The Amman Citadel crowns Jabal al-Qal'a with the Temple of Hercules, the Umayyad Palace and sweeping views over the city. Below, the Roman Theatre, carved into the hillside, seats thousands, and the downtown souks around the Grand Husseini Mosque sell spices, gold and sweets, with the scent of coffee and cardamom in the air.
Top-ranked sights in Amman: Petra, Jerash (Gerasa), Ajloun Castle.
