Jordan’s capital is a fascinating and beguiling mix of old and new. The ancient city is clustered around the hill of Jabal al-Qal’a, with its towering Roman citadel, while the modern downtown area is a bustling, cosmopolitan metropolis. The city is home to a wealth of historical and archaeological sites, including the magnificent Temple of Hercules, the Byzantine Church of St George and the Umayyad Palace. There’s also plenty to keep visitors busy in the city centre, with its lively markets, trendy restaurants and buzzing nightlife. Amman is an ideal base for exploring the rest of Jordan, with easy access to the stunning desert landscapes of Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea.
