It is quite difficult to list all the interesting places in Amman, so we have compiled a rating of the most visited sights:
Roman theater, or amphitheater: At first glance, this appears to be a typical ancient theater, but upon closer inspection, you'll notice that it's carved directly into the rock. Nearby, you can explore the Jordan Folklore Museum and the Jordanian Museum of Folk Traditions, where you'll find a collection of traditional artifacts.
Additionally, the museum showcases rare mosaics from the ancient cities of Jerash and Madaba. In close proximity to the amphitheater, you'll also discover the National Archaeological Museum and the Roman Forum.
The Citadel: This historical site is Amman's iconic landmark, once the location of the ancient settlement of Rabat Ammon. Ongoing excavations here continue to uncover ancient relics and artifacts, and you might have the opportunity to make similar discoveries during your visit.
Another gem of the city is the Nymphaeum, Amman's primary fountain, situated in West Amman. It's particularly enchanting in the morning sunlight. Meanwhile, the Suq Oriental Market Quarter offers an authentic Arabian atmosphere for your exploration.
To conclude your city tour, consider a visit to the personal car museum of King Hussein. It's best to save this visit until after you've thoroughly explored the Old City. After marveling at the royal collection of seventy luxury cars, it's quite a contrast to admire the humble Bedouin household items.
