Jordan Archaeological Museum

This is a small museum located inside the Amman Citadel, and probably the oldest museum in Amman. The place has some really nice artifacts on display, and are neatly placed. You can access this museum with the general Citadel entrance ticket, yet one has to register his/her name at the museum entrance. As the place is quite small and tight, expect it to be crowded with visitors. Expect to spend around 15 minutes here.

Inside the grounds of the Citadel, the museum is small but lovely. You can see it completely for about 20 minutes if you are in a hurry, but I will advise you to take your time. Lots of wonderful little gems inside it. If you have a guide, this is the only place in the citadel where he won't be able to explain things, since the museum has a policy against it for some reason. There are pretty interesting things from different parts of the history of the citadel and the region. Don't leave the Citadel without a visit!

**A Must-Visit for History Enthusiasts** This place is a treasure trove of Jordan's history, with artifacts that are exceptionally well-preserved. It offers a deep insight into the country's heritage, making it a destination you shouldn't miss. Overall, the staff were welcoming and added to the positive experience. However, one moment was disappointing and disheartening. When I asked for water to fill my bottle—because the café was far and my child was thirsty—a staff member refused to let me take water from the tank. This was a letdown in an otherwise wonderful visit.

Located inside the Amman Citadel complex, entrance fee to the hotel is already included in the 3JD fee for the whole complex I particularly liked that the exhibits are curated well and organized according to historical periods. Staff are very friendly. Their restrooms well maintained.

No visit to the Citadel is complete without exploring the Jordan Archaeological Museum. Housed within the Citadel itself, the museum offers a fascinating journey through Jordan's history. The well-curated collection features artifacts from across the country, from the prehistoric period to the Islamic era. I was particularly impressed by ancient era coin collection, the Ain Ghazal statues, things dating back to 10,000 years back. The museum does a great job of presenting the artifacts in a way that tells the story of Jordan's past.

Located at the heart of the Amman Citadel this Archelogical museum shows the history of the area which goes back almost 30,000 years. This building also has air conditioning so amazing place to relax if you need to take a break from the heat. We did this as we visited in the middle of August. Really cool things to see like pottery, jewelry, statues, etc. I really enjoyed this and there were a lot to see, but what I enjoyed the best was the air conditioning.

The visit to the museum is included with the same ticket for Amman citadel, so no entry fees. Inside the museum you will find some skeletons and tombs, some primitive jewelry. It’s will maintained in good shape. I like the way they organized it in sections such as Stone Age , iron ages and Bronze Age , please don’t try to touch anything as the place is equipped with alarms and sensors.

Gorgeous museum which holds items dating back to apporoximately 500,000 years ago. It feels like a journey through the past, the walls have posters explaining the history of the different time periods and the corresponding artifacts. It is well-organized and the staff are very kind and welcoming. I recommend coming here especially if you love history.
