Airport travel guide
Both historic and modern, hectic and timeless, the capital of Jordan is one of the most interesting cities in the Middle East. Continuously inhabited for millennia, Amman has plenty of fascinating sites left by different cultures and empires.
Served by Queen Alia International Airport (AMM), Amman can serve as a base for exploring the northern part of Jordan and some of its most famous landmarks. With that in mind, these are three of the most interesting attractions in Amman:
- The Amman Citadel. Ruled by the Assyrians, Babylonians, Romans, and Ottomans — and located in an area that’s allegedly been inhabited for 7,000 years — the Amman Citadel is definitely the main symbol of the city. A large complex rather than a single structure, it is home to sites like the Temple of Hercules, Umayyad Palace, and nowadays also the Archaeological Museum of Jordan.
- Jordan Museum. Dedicated to all the aforementioned chapters of Jordanian history and more, this is arguably the most important museum in the country. There is a significant focus on archaeology, but the museum also explores social, cultural, and ethnographic aspects of the country’s history. Most of the exhibits are in both Arabic and English. Visit the official website to learn more about admission and its collections.
- Roman Theater. Over 2000 years old, the 6,000-seat ancient theater is one of the city’s most iconic landmarks, built into the foot of Jabal Al-Jofah. The theater has been restored and is often home to summer concerts and festivals.
Within an easy day trip distance of Amman, you could also visit these popular attractions in the north of Jordan:
- Madaba. Located less than an hour’s drive southwest of the capital, Madaba is one of Jordan’s most interesting attractions. The little town punches way above its weight with attractions like the Greek Orthodox St. George Church (which remains active to this day), Madaba Archaeological Park, and the haunting dolmens of Al Fayha. If time permits, after seeing Madaba you can continue to nearby Umm-ar-Rasas (a world heritage site of different civilizations which is about a 40-minute drive to the south) or the stunning Mujib Canyon and Reserve near the Dead Sea (about an hour’s drive to the south).
- The Dead Sea. The world’s second-most salty body of water and the lowest point on earth holds a deep fascination for all those who visit. Just a 45-minute journey by road southwest of Amman (60 km/37 miles), you can access the water via the public beaches or one of the luxury resorts that line the shores for the thrilling experience of floating on water.
- Jerash. One of the best preserved Decapolis cities in the Middle East, the ancient city of Gerasa was all but buried for over 1,000 years beneath what is now modern-day Jerash. 45 km (28 miles) north of Amman, this is a fascinating trip back in time through colonnaded streets, grand theaters, public plazas, baths and fountains from the Graeco-Roman world.
