1. The blue-domed King Abdullah I Mosque, built in the 1980s by the late King Hussein as a memorial to his grandfather, is open to Non-Muslim visitors. The nave with an area of 1,615 m2 has the capacity to house 3,000 worshippers. It is octogonal and distiguished for not having pillars inside. Its dome of 35 m in diameter has a height of 31 meters. A source of radiation was placed in the middle taking the form of a golden star culminating in the Ninety Nine Most Beautiful Names of Allah surrounding the dome's neck. The suspended chandelier of 168 lanterns consists of three circles with the Holy Quranic Verse with the word Allah recurring on every lantern. The fertile land is expressed in the form of a red carpet made of an ornamental textile of recurring patterns meant to direct worshippers toward the Kiblah. All the walls, including the Kiblah, the pulpit, and the Mihrab are panelled with wooden and marble oriels.

2. Jabal al-Qala is one of the seven mountains of Amman, which the Ammonians have long taken as the seat of their rule in the city, followed by Greece, romans and Byzantines who occupied the city respectively until it was occupied by the Islamic conquest in the 7th century AD, where the Umayyad Palace was built on its top. Mount Qalaa in Amman emerged as the capital of the Ammonians.

3. The Roman Amphitheatre is a Roman theater located in the eastern part of the Jordanian capital Amman, precisely at the foot of Mount Jufa on one of the hills opposite Amman Castle. Greek writing on one of the pillars indicates that this amphitheater was built in honor of Emperor Antonius Pius, who visited Amman in 130 AD.

About Amman

Amman, capitale jordanienne étalée sur des collines, avec ruines romaines, souks animés du centre et un accueil chaleureux pour débuter un voyage.

La citadelle d'Amman couronne le Jabal al-Qal'a avec le temple d'Hercule, le palais omeyyade et de vastes vues sur la ville. En contrebas, le théâtre romain, creusé dans la colline, peut accueillir des milliers de personnes, et les souks du centre autour de la grande mosquée Husseini vendent épices, or et douceurs, dans l'air parfumé de café et de cardamome.

Top-ranked sights in Amman: Petra, Jerash (Gerasa), Ajloun Castle.
