Amman, day by day
Amman is a city of four million on nineteen hills, the Philadelphia of the Romans and the Rabbath Ammon of the Bible, with a Roman theatre for 6,000 in the middle of downtown, a citadel of Bronze Age walls, a Roman temple and an Umayyad palace above it, a museum that holds the oldest statues ever made, and the best-preserved Roman city in the Middle East, the mosaic map of the Holy Land and the lowest point on earth all within an hour's drive. Start with three days that walk the downtown and the citadel, drive north to Jerash and Salt, and go down to Madaba, Mount Nebo, the baptism site and the Dead Sea, with the prices and hours the ministry and the Jordan Pass publish for 2026.
