Amman Citadel

Definitely a great place to go for an afternoon, especially at sunset. At least when we went (December/January) the citadel closes just about the time the sun starts going down. Still, we got some great views as we left! The nearby cafe makes for an easy dinner option as well. Definitely an easy must see, and don't miss the museum!

Such a master piece of historical place at Amman. Citadel is great place to visit which has immense history of romes building the city. You can see panoramic view of Amman city from the top of Citadel. There is also a museum inside showcasing lot of remnants from past and items that shows significance of this place. You will also see Amphitheater from the top of this place which is bit farther away. It's a treat to watch thus place of historic importance. You can purchase tickets at the entrance.. I would recommend you purchase tickets online as they had challenges of giving me the change.

Amazing views of Amman city from the top. Walking through the ruins from centuries ago takes you through a leap of time that shows how spectacular life was. Great place for an afternoon walk and the sunset colors are fabulous.

A fascinating historical site with breathtaking views of the city. The mix of Roman, Byzantine, and Islamic architecture is incredible. Our experience was made even better thanks to our tour guide, Amer Bdour. He was knowledgeable and shared detailed stories and insights that brought the site to life. Amer’s passion and expertise truly enhanced our visit.

The Museum is small but lovely, the history is long and great, the outer wall is impressive but better appreciated from the outside. The Main Hall has had major renovation and it's pretty cool. A lot of history Roman, Byzantine, Muslim. It's not crowded, morning or evening visit is recommended since most of what you will do is a hike thru the ruins. Entrance is JD 3 per person and includes the visit to the archeological museum that's inside the premises. Great all around view of the city of Amman. Fun Fact: the Everyday Life - Live from Jordan by Coldplay was recorded here on the west corner behind the Hall and the cistern.

A historic gem nestled in the heart of the city, you can see the whole city in panoramic view and the Roman Theatre. There is a small museum for extra historic pieces as well. The ticket price is 2 JOD and there are guides to show you around and take pictures of you or offer you a photographer for the tour. If you don’t have budget for the guide tour there is a summary in front of each spot!
