Amazing Hotel with Helpful Owner. Located right in the city center near from all major attractions and market. The breakfast was good and room was spacious considering the price. The owner is a very nice person, he helped us getting taxi and bus wadi musa and he also came us to dropped till taxi which is really appreciated. Overall a very pleasant stay

Decent budget hotel. Only drawback is that it's too close to the main road and hence lots of noise.

Very nice staff. Clean beds. In a good location, the mini fridge and ac are nice as well. The staff speak good English and are very helpful with where you can eat depending on what you are looking for. They also provided us snacks after we arrived at 4 Am

AL-Houriat Hotel

K. Ali Ben Al-Hussein St. 146, Amman, Jordan

This is a nice tourist place in the heart of Amman, and it can be easily accessed within 15 mins if you are around the city.
You can spend 2-4 hours wandering around the ancient ruins and visiting the museum, the view is spectacular as you have 360 degrees over the old city.
There’s a nice restaurant there serving authentic food and drinks, and there’s also a convenience store at the entrance selling snacks, drinks and souvenirs.
Public restrooms are just next the store.
Buses and car parking is available in front of the place free of charge.
There are guided tours if you wish to know everything about the place in main languages.

Gorgeous location with historical architecture and the best views of Amman! The tickets were quite cheap and I highly recommend coming and seeing the Citadel especially at golden hour as the light hits the buildings so nicely plus it’s great for photos. Moderately busy depending on what time you go, but not too crowded.

Highly recommended to visit. This place is probably the best thing that you can see in Amman. Nice archaeological area with great viewpoints on city. There is a lot of space and during non season visit you meet only a few people. On every important location you can find information board with description in English, so you don't need guide. And if you have Jordan Pass, the entry is free (included), of course. Enjoy your time.

Original & delicious! Very good place to come for local food. Place is a bit rough on the corners, but food is excellent. Falafel was best, they do it fresh on-site. Service is there just to get you food- on the rude side but efficient and everything works. Great experience!😊

Nice falafels, crunchy and light. Hummus and foul were good too. We also enjoyed the tea. No menu. Just find a table as someone will come over to help you order food. You then pay at the counter in the middle of the restaurant when you're ready to go.

When in Rome be a Roman in Jordan if Hashem was good for the Royal family its good enough for me. I loved the whole experience there. I loved the local flavor  that the food had.The food was great and delicious the place was packed with people. It was served quickly and waiter was great . Great food at a great price. The humus texture was fantastic . The falafel was cooked in fresh oil.

Hashem Restaurant Down Town

Not clean enough they dont listen to the vesitors dealing with the women very bad the committee of the mosque not good enough

Hussein Khawaja mosque

Complex No 15, Prince Mohammad St 15, Amman, Jordan

It is one of the most beautiful authentic nice places at downtown (albalad) in Amman...
I've been there way too many times in the past. However (can't find pictures 😕)
They have a delicious variety of Arabic food 😋
With some nice Arabic live music show at night 🎶
What I love about them the most is their boycotting policies and how the place is very suitable for families and friends ❤️
Employers are very nice and sweet!

One of my favourite places in Amman. The theme and overall atmosphere just brings you back home. The food is so good too, and I love visiting early in the day as it is not too crowded, there is AC, and it's too relaxing and beautiful. Highly recommended.
PS. Kids below 18 or 21 are not allowed.

A friend told me to go to Jafra to try some local food. He told me this was one of his favorite restaurant so I had to come and visit. The food was awesome. I wanted to try everything. The atmosphere was very cool too. The menu is on both Arabic and English.

Jafra Restaurant & Cafe

Just a dirty street and hard to find parking. The only thing cool is the colored baskets hanging on one street. It's not really worth coming out here. There's a few cafes and restaurants but that's it.

Even though I did find some restaurants that are not bad, I definitely think this place is overrated as a tourist attraction. It’s not all that rainbowish so the speak and there are many better shops in more local areas. I wonder if this is more like a tourist trap than an actual place you should visit

Fun street to visit,  one way direction.  Loud music, tons of restaurants to choose from.
Clean and inviting.
A must visit while in Amman

Rainbow Street

Another remarkable remnant of old Roman Decapolis city of Philadelphia, the Nymphaeum of Amman is the largest in the region of its kind. Even in its partial preservation state, it is larger than the public fountains in Jerash, Umm Qays (Gadara) and Petra.

It was built in 191 AD next to a river that now lies under the modern road behind. It was dedicated to the water nymphs. A paved plaza was laid in front of it for public access and gatherings. Architectural decorative elements are laid around that testify of the former grandeur of the edifice. You can appreciate animal and human figures including a lion, lioness and a male bust (the head of which is displayed inside the Jordan Archaeological Museum at the Citadel). One of the small niches still have some original marble cladding next to the ground.

The site was under restoration and preservation from 1993 until October 2018 when the site was reopened as the Nymphaeum Archaeological Park in Amman. There are nine informative signboards and a small 3D model of the Nymphaeum as it would have looked like in its glory days.

The site metal door might be closed during business hours, but a guard is usually inside. If so, draw his attention to open it and enjoy this new renovated addition to the bustling historic center of Amman. A must see with the added bonus of being free of charge.

Gorgeous historic place.. it wasn't open when I got there, but the guide opened the gates for me so i could have a real quick look around.. something to note, the surrounding areas are quite dirty because it is situated opposite a busy market.i feel the authorities should look into enforcing cleanliness in the area

A small historical monument nested between the city’s buildings. The visit should be quick but it is nice to marvel at the architecture. You need the roman amphitheater ticket in order to get in the place. A nice stop along the way if discovering amman

Roman Nymphaeum

One of the wonderful historical sites in Amman, Jordan.
A very impressive amphitheatre built into the rock face, opposite the citadel. There is a very nice guide who approaches you to tell you stories and myths about the theatre. Brilliant place to come right in centre of Amman. You can use your Jordan pass here to get in although we weren't asked for it. The theatre is now used as a venue for cultural activities including the Amman International Book Fair, the Amman Marathon prize ceremony, and musical concerts.
I strongly recommend visiting this place if you are in Amman.

This is a place which you can expect in Jordan.
It’s huge and beautiful with the views if you go on to the top. The steps are little steep so be careful with that. The tree is a museum which includes the entrance purchase ( no ticket needed for Jordan pass).
This is a must go place in Amman.

The market is also very close to this place, after visiting you can walk to the market and enjoy the shopping.

Nice touristy place next to downtown market. It’s well lit even after it closes down and has a big concrete area in front where people can sit/walk and have a good time. Dont miss the picture points as they offer a good view of the city.

Cute lil tiny apartment with an exquisite view of the city. It’s refreshing looking at all the old pieces and books of this place. Would recommend to check it out :D

What a beautiful place!!!
I was full and didn’t order anything but they allowed me to sit inside and just enjoy the charm of the place.
Come a visit, totally worth it

This arts and cultural center is a historic gem filled with antiquities, pictures, and old furniture that give you a glimpse of 20th-century Jordanian life.

Jordan is a beautiful and diverse land. We go from big cities to villages with a few dozen houses, from the arid desert to the crystal clear sea, from deep canyons to hills and immense meadows.
It was one of the best trips I've ever been on...

Jordan: between wonder and amazement

La Giordania è una terra stupenda e dall’aspetto vario. Si passa da grandi città a paesini con poche decine di case, dall’arido deserto al mare cristallino, da canyon profondi a colline e prati immensi.
È stato uno dei viaggi più belli che abbia fatto,...
