Amman Citadel

It is a magnificent site. I you need at least 1.5 hour to have a look at most of the place. The view of the city is breathtaking. The cafe and the toilets are very clean. The only thing that is in really bad condition is the museum. It needs renovation asap.

Magnificent panoramic view of Amman and the Roman Theater. Large grounds. This was my 2nd time visiting this spectacular site. What remains of the Temple of Hercules are the massive iconic pillars that are incredible to see up close. The reconstructed Ummyad Palace dome is also beautiful. Visit the museum too, and maybe bring a snack or water to share with the many cats you'll find in Jordan. This site is included with the Jordan Pass.

Amman Citadel is a must-visit in Jordan. The views over Amman are stunning, especially at sunset, and the site beautifully blends history with atmosphere. Walking among the ancient ruins while overlooking the city gives a real sense of Jordan’s deep past. Well worth the visit for history lovers and photographers alike. The entry price is 3JD and preferably is cash. But if you would like to pay online u can just scan the QR code at the counter. Fill up ur details and show to the attending the will assist you. The place is very Instagram worthy and overlook the city and a panoramic view. Be advise if u come in the morning or afternoon to make sure bring ur swag shades and an umbrella or hat cause the sun is very bright shining on top and bring lots of sunscreen.

DO NOT PASS THIS UP. THE CITADEL THE THEATRE AND THE JORDAN MUSEUM ARE WORTH A TWO DAY STAY IN AMMAN. This way you could gradually overcome the jet lag before PETRA and at the same time get some valuable background information before you go. Citadel. Marvelous views of the city at a rather nice size archeological site that is Roman Byzantine and the rise of Islam. Again the views are spectacular and the view of the Jordanian flag at the palace is breathtaking. Amman or Philadelphia plays an important role in ancient history as well as it does today in the Middle East. I was very impressed with the Temple of Hercules and the hand from his statue. The museum here is important because it has a priceless statue from the Ain Ghazal group. Yes there is only one but its historical value is immeasurable. This is the type of Art you see in the Louvre Smithsonian or British Museum. The Roman glass exhibit was a real surprise to me. There needs to be made a general overview in a video in order to be more appealing to children. Cafe here was a nice place for a break and there are clean restrooms. This site as well as the Theatre and the Big Jordanian Museum below is like what Williamsburg in Virginia is the the USA. PRICELESS.

One of the top attractions in Amman with great views of the city and the Roman Theater. Lots to see within the site and you could easily spend 1-2 hours here if you visited all of the sites.

One of the best places you can visit in Amman to enjoy fresh air and see the city from the top. It’s a very good and safe place, with all the necessary services available, including clean bathrooms and security. Perfect for relaxing, taking photos, and enjoying the beautiful view of Amman. Highly recommended! 🌆✨
