Guide to Amman

Ancient as the world itself, Jordan becomes a revelation for visitors. Every stone and building here breathes with the spirit of past times. Quiet and surprisingly beautiful Amman is no exception. The best days spent here will remain in your memory for a long time.

A holiday in Amman is primarily about sightseeing. But calling this endless immersion into the city's endless past a mere excursion would be an understatement. It’s more like meditation, a prayer, or a pilgrimage.

Of course, the cost of tours here is quite high. Budget trips should be booked in advance by selecting the right option. On average, however, you will pay from 1500–2000 USD for the trip, not including the flight.

But the tour is worth the money. The atmosphere of Arab streets, the white stone of the ancient Roman theater heated by the sun, and the modern mosques create an incredible mix of impressions. This museum-city has become a reflection of its entire history.

Last-minute tours to Amman can be found year-round. Usually, they go on sale a week or two before the end of the season—summer or winter. Winter in Amman sees a decline in the tourist boom. But that doesn’t mean it’s not worth visiting during this time.

During this period, prices for accommodation and many excursions drop. The cheapest travel options await you in February, although you might catch discounts in other seasons as well.

By choosing last-minute deals, you save money that can be spent on additional tours, visits to Jordan’s numerous shrines outside Amman, or indulgent shopping in the city’s markets.
