Activity itinerary

Roman Theater
  • 45m
  • Admission ticket included
The Roman Theater in Amman, built in the 2nd century AD, is a stunning example of Roman engineering. Carved into a hillside, it could seat 6,000 spectators for performances and events. Its remarkable acoustics and tiered seating offer a glimpse into ancient entertainment. Climb to the top for panoramic views of downtown Amman and the Citadel. A must-visit for history and architecture lovers.
Odeon Theater
  • 15m
  • Admission ticket included
Located near the Roman Theater, the Odeon is a smaller, intimate amphitheater built around the same period. With a capacity of about 500, it was likely used for musical performances and meetings. Its well-preserved structure and proximity to the main theater make it a quick but fascinating stop to explore Roman cultural life.
Nymphaeum
  • 15m
  • Admission ticket included
The Nymphaeum is a partially restored Roman public fountain complex dedicated to water nymphs. Built in the 2nd century AD, it once featured elaborate decorations and water features. Though only fragments remain, it offers a glimpse into the daily life and architectural beauty of ancient Philadelphia (modern-day Amman). A quiet, reflective spot in the bustling city.
Grand Husseini Mosque
  • 15m
  • Admission ticket not included
The Grand Husseini Mosque, located in downtown Amman, is one of the city’s oldest and most iconic religious landmarks. Built in 1924 by King Abdullah I on the site of an ancient mosque dating back to the Umayyad era, it features a striking pink-and-white stone facade. The mosque serves as a vibrant center for worship and community gatherings, reflecting Jordan’s rich Islamic heritage. Visitors can admire its elegant minarets and serene atmosphere, making it a peaceful retreat in the heart of the bustling city. Modest dress is required for entry.
Al Balad – Downtown Amman
  • 30m

We'll take a walking tour in downtown, you can optionally buy some souvenirs from the local shop, and then we'll enjoy a traditional sweets "Knafeh" from an authentic sweets shop.
