About Amman

Amman, capitale giordana su una serie di colline, con rovine romane, suq affollati e un caloroso benvenuto a inizio viaggio.

La Cittadella di Amman corona il Jabal al-Qal'a con il Tempio di Ercole, il Palazzo Omayyade e ampie viste sulla città. Più in basso, il Teatro Romano, scavato nel fianco della collina, ospita migliaia di persone, e i suq del centro attorno alla Grande Moschea Husseini vendono spezie, oro e dolci, con il profumo di caffè e cardamomo nell'aria.

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