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 best places you can visit in Amman to enjoy fresh air and see the city from the top.

Highly recommended! 🌆✨

Soooo unique... It's not just an archaeological site. You are on a high mountain you can see all see city and so quite and calm cuz it's far from street level.. I really recommend to visit when it's cloudy ♥️☁️

Amman Citadel sits on a hill and offers great views of the city. The site has ruins from Roman, Byzantine, and Umayyad times, showing how Amman changed over many centuries. The Temple of Hercules and old foundations are interesting to see, and the location makes it peaceful. More signs would help explain the history better.

Amazing views of the beautiful city of Amman. The ruins date back to the Roman and later, the Ummayad empire who ruled this city. Great history and landscape. Entry fee is JOD3, but if you have purchased the Jordan Pass, you can enter for free. There is also a small cafe where you can get something for a quick munch.
