Start your tour with a pickup from your centrally located Amman hotel. Relax into your private, air-conditioned vehicle with your knowledgeable driver and set off on your tour.
Head first for one of Amman’s most impressive sites, King Abdullah Mosque and the Coptic Church in front of it, then proceed to the Roman amphitheater. Carved into a hillside, this stunning 2nd-century structure is the most notable remnant of Philadelphia, the ancient city that once stood on the site of Amman. Admire its tiered sides and imagine its seats filled with the 6,000 spectators who once gathered here to watch plays.
Next, visit Amman Citadel, a walled, hilltop collection of antiquities above the city. Stroll around the timeworn Roman, Byzantine and early Islamic relics, and visit the Citadel's Amman Archaeological Museum to see its displays of dusty antiquities uncovered by archaeological digs across the country.
Then, leave the antiquities behind and focus on the traditional and modern sides of life in this vibrant city. Pass the Raghadan Palace, the burial place of the late King Hussein, and head downtown to see the old markets, mosques and streets stuffed with coffee shops and food stalls. Explore, too, the affluent residential neighborhood of Abdoun, and Swefieh, where luxury shopping malls frame the streets.
After roughly 4 hours, your tour ends with a drop-off at your hotel. Alternatively, ask your driver to drop you at one of the shopping malls that you saw on your tour or opt to visit the new Abdali area for free time to walk and eat at The Boulevard, known as the new modern down town of the capital Amman. Estimated Taxi cost according the area 10 – 15 American Dollars.

Upgrade to a 6-hour tour and after your city tour, visit a local restaurant for a delicious, included Arabic mezze lunch.
