Amman City Sightseeing Tour

Amman City Tour

View Roman-era Citadel, Amphitheatre and Temples along with souks and malls


Overview
With an enchanting mix of ancient and modern, Amman has perhaps very few parallels in the world. This ancient capital city, called Philadelphia in Roman times, is rich in historical archaeological sites, art galleries and shops.

On this city tour, visit the Bronze Age Citadel and admire the impressive Roman-era amphitheatre and temples. The Archaeological Museum here houses the famous Dead Sea Scrolls, a copy of the oldest Hebrew text and four rare Iron Age sarcophagi. Explore the Umayyad Palace at the Citadel, which dates back to 720 AD. Pay a visit to the Ottoman-style King Abdullah I Mosque, a grand monument of the modern times.

The city also has colourful souks and shopping malls, selling everything from tiny souvenirs to expensive designer wear. On this tour, explore the old and new facets of Amman, which was known as Philadelphia in the ancient times.
