Amman

Amman of Arabia

The capital of Jordan may not have the grand history of Jerusalem or Damascus, but what it lacks in antiquity, it makes up for in hospitality and friendliness. A charming city – with plenty of cultural highlights – an Arab hotspot in the making.

The city is rapidly modernising, much like Dubai, and you will find luxury hotels and opulent resorts in the west side of the city. Venture into the student-filled area of Rainbow Street, with coffee houses, bookshops and fantastic restaurants. See the beautiful ruins at the Citadel, where you’ll find the former Temple of Hercules. But the city is only the beginning, outside the walls, adventure and ancient history await. Head south to the Wadi Rum, the Arabia of T.E. Lawrence’s adventures, or to the diverse landscapes of the Azraq Nature Reserve. Don’t miss a trip to the Dead Sea resorts, or the laid-back port of Aqaba, before making your way to the enigmatic grandeur of Petra, Jordan’s most popular attraction.
