    Begin the tour with a morning pick-up from any hotel in Amman. Get into a climate-controlled vehicle with a private English-speaking driver and Wi-Fi services.

Explore the heart of Amman,” the downtown core “, Al-Balad, which encompasses a myriad of traditional and ancient markets, cafes, restaurants, shops, and buildings. Al-Balad’s long history leaves several historical, heritage, and archeological sites such as the Amman Citadel, the Roman Amphitheatre, the Roman Nymphaeum, the Umayyad Monumental Gateway, and the Temple of Hercules. All of which you will get the chance to visit and explore during the tour.

  • Roman Theatre

    1 hoursAdmission Ticket Not Included
    Explore the Theatre: Visitors can climb the steep steps of the cavea to get a sense of its scale and to enjoy panoramic views of the modern city and the nearby Citadel hill. Roman Forum: In front of the theatre are the remains of the ancient Roman Forum, a large public square. You can still see some of the original columns and paving stones. The Odeon: Adjacent to the main theatre is a smaller, 500-seat Roman venue known as the Odeon, which was used for musical performances. Museums: The rooms behind the stage house two small museums: the Jordan Museum of Popular Traditions and the Jordan Folklore Museum. They showcase artifacts, traditional costumes, and items from Jordanian and Palestinian culture. Live Events: The theatre is not just a relic of the past; it is an active cultural venue. It hosts concerts, festivals (like the annual Al-Balad Music Festival), and other performances, bringing the ancient space to life.
  • The Citadel

    1 hoursAdmission Ticket Not Included
    Make your way to Amman's Citadel, a historical site sitting on the highest hill in Amman, which has been occupied since the Bronze Age. It is surrounded by a 1700-meter-long wall that has been rebuilt several times during both the Bronze and Iron Ages. There is a lot to see; however, the most remarkable sights are the Umayyad Palace and the iconic Temple of Hercules. Pay a visit to the Citadel’s Archeological Museum and inspect its collection of ancient antiques and artifacts. This collection of antiques on one hilltop makes the Amman citadel one of the best places to visit and admire. The Citadel site is a large open-air museum with several key structures and a museum that provides context for the ruins.
