Excellent service and staff at Burj Alhamam restaurant, big thanks to Mr. Mohammed Shehadeh for his kindness and welcoming us . The food was so delicious and tasty. I recommend this restaurant to friends and families.
We stayed one night and picked it as we knew we would have to leave at 5am and get to the airport so thought we’d pick a big brand for ease of transfer. And then found out they charged 40JOD for a transfer so ended up getting an Uber at 05:00am for 18JOD instead. So really we could have picked something more central. Check in staff are fine, although we booked and paid for a king size non smoking and they didn’t have any so we had to have a twin instead. Room was clean and everything looked new but also really dated - e.g. I don’t think a 5 star hotel should have shower curtains (it was spotless but it’s still dated). It was quite a quiet room which was good and the aircon worked well. The bed was really comfy. The pool area is old sun loungers and loud music, the two outdoor jacuzzis are nice
I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. It is in a central location, there is a supermarket near it, and you can easily walk to Rainbow street and downtown. The room was large with modern furniture and the bathroom was the same. Breakfast buffet had enough options to suit most tastes. And the staff were all helpful when something was requested. All in all, it was a pleasant stay and I'd recommend it to my friends if they travelled to Amman.
Qasr Al-Abed, also known as Castle of the Slave, is a large Hellenistic palace from the first quarter of the second century BC. Most scholars agree it was built by the Tobiads, a notable Jewish family of the Second Temple period. Its ruins stand in modern-day Jordan in the valley of Wadi Seer, close to the village of Iraq Al-Amir, approximately 17 kilometres west of Amman.
Qasr Al-Abed is believed to be Tyros, the palace of a Tobiad noble, Hyrcanus of Jerusalem, head of the powerful Tobiad family and governor of Ammon in the 2nd century BCE. The first known written description of the castle comes down to us from Josephus, a first-century Jewish-Roman historian. The association of the site with the Tobiads is based on a cave inscription found nearby.

Nestled within the historic walls of Amman's Citadel lies the Umayyad Palace, a captivating remnant of the Umayyad Caliphate (661-750 CE). Built in the first half of the 8th century, the palace served as an administrative center and residence for the Umayyad governor. While largely in ruins, the remaining structures offer a glimpse into the architectural prowess and political significance of the era.
The most striking feature is the monumental gateway, also known as the "kiosk." This restored, domed chamber served as the main entrance, showcasing intricate stonework and geometric patterns. Beyond the gateway lies a colonnaded courtyard, leading to various halls and chambers. Notably, the audience hall, with its barrel-vaulted ceiling, was likely used by the governor to receive dignitaries and hold official meetings.

The Roman Theater is a historic landmark from many thousands of years ago, a must go for Tourists and history lovers.
There's a regular large play and seating area in front of it with no entry fee needed.
A fee is required to go to the theater itself, only during the daytime. It is surreal experience sitting on the same place people of centuries ago sat on and going into the same halls as they did.
I very highly recommend coming here.
A really nice place to see. Amazing how well preserved the place is. Two small museums on the premises. Also a local market is 10 min walk away, and in the Roman Theatre complex there is also an Odeon. Nice place to come and visit
Massive amphitheatre which can accommodate 6000 viewers. Still in use occasionally. Just climb on steep steps up to the top of auditorium to enjoy breathtaking views of amphitheater and citadel in background. There is small amphitheater in the area and museum
