Itinerary

1. One of the oldest mosques in Amman, rebuilt by King Abdullah I in 1932 on the site of the one built by the second Caliph, Omar Bin Al-Khattab around 640 AD. Tourists may be able to enter if dressed appropriately. Close to this mosque are two famous souqs: Souq Bukharia (good for getting souvenirs) and Souq Al-Sukar (fruit, vegetables, nuts and spices.)

   20 min

2. This historic townhouse, built in 1924, has served as a post office (Amman's first), the Ministry of Finance and a hotel. Today, it has been restored with period furnishings by a prominent Jordanian businessman, who is also the duke of the village of Mukhaybeh. The collection of old photos of Amman provide an interesting glimpse of a bygone age. It's all quite underplayed, but rather charming nonetheless.

   20 min

3. Souk el-Khodra, or the vegetable market, is the perfect weekly destination for all your fresh fruits and vegetables. Much of the produce is locally grown and the prices are substantially more affordable than most supermarkets in Amman. Take a stroll through the souk and enjoy the abundance of fresh seasonal produce available while listening to the melodies of the traders songs, enticing you to their stalls, the tour guide will show you around.

   20 min

4. you will be tasting a sweet dish called Kunafa, made by The Habibah family who are making these sweets since the 1940s....so they must be doing something right.

   20 minAdmission included

   20 min

6. The Balad is the oldest section of the city which is made up of a myriad of markets. The area's long history leaves a large number of historical sites, such as the Amman Citadel, the Roman Theatre, and the Roman Nymphaeum which we will pass by during the tour

  Guide was very knowledgeable. This 2 hour took me around the markets seeing food, traditional clothing, apothecary-like places etc. Tried a number of food items. This was a good glimpse into day-to-day life in Amman

• 5Highlight of our trip

  Amazing walking tour ! I highly recommend this tour, without a doubt, to anyone travelling to Amman. It is a great way to get to know the city, the country and the local culture. Our guide was very knowledgeable, answered all our questions and even changed his plan to add stops depending on our interests (ex: visiting a Mosque). He took his time with us, stopping to sample foods on the way. He was more than generous with his time and knowledge.

• 5Wonderful walking tour of the souks in Amman

  I had a terrific time touring the souks in Amman and learning about the history and culture of Jordan. My tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable and he helped me find some hidden treasures in the marketplace, as well as providing a wonderful memory of my time in Jordan.

• 4Market Tour only, no sites

  Interesting tour through the market areas. They did not go to any sites. We had less options due to Ramadan, but still got to try a few things. Biggest issue was guide spoke very fast, and was often hard to understand

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.
