Amman, the capital of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, is built on seven hills featuring a clutter of white boxy stone houses surrounded by historical Roman architectures and ruins from Islamic civilization.
Amman has so much to offer. At the heart of the city is the extraordinary Roman amphitheater from the ancient Philadelphia, and it is still used for some special occasions. Walking up from the Roman Theater, you will find the site of the ancient capital Rabbath-Ammon on the top of the Citadel Hill offering several stunning edifices including Omayyad Palace, the Great Temple of Amman, and the Jordan Archaeological Museum. In the bustling downtown of Amman features the Ottoman-style King Hussein Mosque which makes the area really chaotic when it comes to the prayer time. Within a short stroll, you may take a pleasure in the Golden Market with a variety of cultural goods and some shops selling Bedouin and tribal antiques.
