Absolutely beautiful place. Go at sunset for views all across the city. The Architecture is stunning and you can spend ages wandering around at your leisure.

Amman citadel is one of the best historic sites in Amman. The bonus is that it is also an amazing viewpoint!

We were in the Amman Citadel today. With the Jordan Pass you can get in for free. We were there for about 1 1/2 hours.

Located on the top of a mountain in the center of Amman, you can overlook the entire city. The city of Amman is staggered and the rows of white buildings are spread out in front of you, giving every tourist a more emotional understanding of the beautiful name of Amman, the &quot;White City&quot;. Looking from afar, the ancient Roman theater is at the foot of the mountain, like a half circle embedded in the city. In this historic monument, various large-scale world performances are still held in the summer, and it has not stopped for nearly a thousand years. This place can be traced back to the 11th century BC. It is quite spectacular. You can feel the changes in history and the infinite power of the rings of time. There are reservoirs, Byzantine churches, and several absolutely thick stone pillars on the castle hill. At sunset or in the evening, you can take pictures of magnificent scenes here. There is also a Jordan National Archaeological Museum. Although the collection method is relatively simple, it is genuine and has a collection of historical cultural relics from many parts of Jordan. It is worth a visit. See the world at will

If you go to Jordan and travel by yourself, remember to buy a Jordan Pass. It can not only be used as a visa on arrival, but also allows you to visit all the monuments and museums on the Jordan Pass. I basically went to all the places listed on the pass, and it was definitely worth the price. Amman is usually the first stop in Jordan, and Citadel Hill is the first stop in Amman. To be honest, I didn&#39;t see any big surprises from Citadel Hill after visiting various countries in the Middle East. The National Museum on Citadel Hill has some good collections, but it&#39;s a pity that the protection of cultural relics is worrying. The pile of antiques that are thousands of years old are left open without controlling humidity or heat. It is very likely that when you go there in the future, Citadel Hill will still be there, but the collections in the museum may disappear. Also, the museum has opening hours, but Citadel Hill has longer opening hours. If you don&#39;t have enough time, it&#39;s best to visit the museum first. You don&#39;t have to visit Citadel Hill.

Not too far from the Temple of Hercules is the Roman Amphitheater and one of the best examples of Roman theater that I have ever seen!

This place is actually in the local city center, on a very busy road, and suddenly this ruins appeared. There are a lot of sacred pillars in this square. It is especially suitable to go there and check in and take photos. There are also many local children who will come to guide you on how to take better photos than you can imagine, but you need to pay tips to the children.

The open-air theater (Anfiteatro) is located at the easternmost end of the ancient city of Rome. It is more than 40 years older than the Colosseum in Rome. There are three levels of auditoriums, and the top level still retains the pillars that supported the ceiling at that time.

1. At the foot of Castle Hill in the center of Amman, you can see the castle on the hill; 2. The Opera House was built in 138-161 A.D. because the Roman Opera House is often seen in all countries of the Mediterranean region, and there is nothing special about it, so you can take a card as a souvenir; 3. The bottom buildings on both sides of the Opera House are the Folk Museum, which can see the life customs and traditions of the Jordanian people. Daily necessities; 4. Small partners with Jordan Pass are free to visit castles and archaeological museums.

Wherever the ancient Romans went, there was always an amphitheater. This open-air theater in Amman is in the city center. It is still usable today. Many years ago, a famous Pepsi advertisement was filmed here. If you want to go inside the amphitheater, you need to pay a ticket, and the Jordan Pass can be used. But you have to go early, because Jordanians are the kind of people who get off work before the time is up. When I came down from the museum on the mountain, it was already closed early. The square at the entrance is very lively, and the Jordanian square dance aunties are comparable to the Chinese aunties.

Rainbow Street is a neighborhood where many foreign tourists live and play. It is also a good place to taste local food and enjoy the fun of life. Many bars and hotels are opened by foreigners. It is a relatively lively and safe area.

This block is near the hotel where we stayed. The street is quite wide. You can see many beautiful colorful paintings on the street. Vehicles are prohibited from passing through the street. There are many delicious restaurants and small hotels.
[Scenery] The street view is quite interesting
[Fun] Interesting visit

Rainbow Street is a very beautiful street with a strong commercial character. Jordan&#39;s economic conditions are not very good, and the things you can see here are also quite unique, and you can buy some souvenirs.
[Scenery]
[Scenery] The climate here is not bad
[Cost-effectiveness] The cost-effectiveness is not high

Bus + taxi across the border, very exotic. Go to Rainbow Street without rainbows to eat skewers. When you are in the world, Uber and &quot;family&quot; are still reliable. This is a relatively lively place in Amman. It is worth a visit.
