Roman ruins and temple tops from the time of the Romans were a delight for the eyes while visiting the Amman Citadel, then moving on to the nearby Roman Theatre, where the Roman Empire directly influenced the city. One could take a walk in Downtown Amman (Al-Balad), a mix of ancient and modern with traditional souks, aromatic street food, and the locals, or go to Rainbow Street for modern cafés, art galleries, and vibrant nightlife.
For its great attractions, Amman is also known as a city of warm welcomes and rich foods. You can try the national dish, mansaf, and then have Arabic coffee with the locals. Besides, the city’s central location makes it the best starting point for visiting other countries’ cultural sites, such as Petra, the Dead Sea, and the Wadi Rum desert.
