Best Places to Visit in Amman

Amman, the capital city of Jordan, is a fascinating blend of ancient history and modern culture, making it a vibrant tourist destination for explorers worldwide. With its unique allure that weaves through the city's streets, there's a multitude of places to visit that will pique the interest of any traveler. And when it comes to discovering the best spots in this captivating city, Happytripz excursions come highly recommended for an unforgettable experience.

One can't talk about Amman without mentioning the city's historical heartbeat, the Citadel. Perched on the highest hill in Amman, Jebel Al Qala'a, this historical site offers panoramic views of the sprawling city below. It's a treasure trove of ruins dating back to the Bronze Age, and a visit here is akin to stepping back into time. Make sure to explore the Temple of Hercules and the Umayyad Palace, and don't forget to snap a picture of the iconic Hercules' hand. The Citadel's archaeological significance makes it an essential stop for history buffs.

  • Roman Theatre: A stunning remnant from the Roman era, this 6,000-seat amphitheater carved into a hillside is still in use today for performances. It's not only a place to appreciate ancient architecture but also a vibrant cultural venue. (Google Maps)
  • Rainbow Street: For those who love a lively atmosphere, Rainbow Street is the place to go. Lined with cafes, shops, and street food vendors, it offers a glimpse into the cosmopolitan side of the city.
  • The Royal Automobile Museum: Car enthusiasts shouldn't miss this museum where they can see King Hussein's car collection. It showcases a rare mix of classic and modern vehicles.
  • Jabal Amman: This is one of the seven hills that originally made up Amman and is a beautiful historical area to walk around, feet away from the hustle of city life. The area's charming buildings tell the tale of Amman's growth and development.

Beyond the well-trodden paths, be sure to visit the King Abdullah Mosque, notable for its breathtaking blue dome, which is open to non-Muslim visitors outside prayer times, providing a respectful glimpse into Islamic culture. For artifacts and folklore, the Jordan Museum cannot be overlooked; it is home to the Dead Sea Scrolls and a wealth of archaeological finds from across the region.

Then there's the eclectic culinary adventure that this city offers. Amman's food scene ranges from delicious street food like falafel and shawarma to upscale dining experiences. The city's famous dish, mansaf, is a tantalizing must-try, made of lamb cooked in a sauce of fermented dried yogurt and served with rice or bulgur.

When venturing through this city of contrasts, why not let the local experts at Happytripz guide your journey? Their excursions are tailored to provide deep insights into Amman's rich history, culture, and contemporary allure. With Happytripz, you will travel not just to visit, but to connect with the essence of Amman.

Lastly, don’t skip the marketplaces! Souk Jara (during summer) and the Friday Market are places where you can hunt for crafts, antiques, and souvenirs. These markets are not just shopping destinations; they're colorful and vibrant parts of Jordanian culture.

In conclusion, Amman captivates travelers with its layered history, dynamic culture, and welcoming spirit. Whether you are walking through the Roman Theatre or enjoying a sunset from the Citadel, or planning your adventures through Happytripz, every visit resonates with the soul of the city. Just remember, every corner of Amman has a story—so come, explore, and find your own within this timeless city.
