If Jordan still isn’t one of the countries on your bucket list, you’ll change your mind after learning more about it—especially its capital of Amman. This charming city has something in store for everyone, and here are a few reasons why you should visit it sooner than later.

Rich History

Amman went through many hands throughout history and spent some time under Roman, Persian, and Ottoman rule. Important historical sites are scattered all around it, including Amman Citadel and Roman Theater.

Cultural Scene

You can explore Jordan’s rich history in Amman’s museums, but some of them are dedicated to art, as well. If you want to explore the city’s cultural scene, the Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts is a good place to start.

Amazing Food

Passionate foodies will also feel right at home in Amman since you can taste some of the most popular specialties of the Middle Eastern cuisine in this city, ranging from mansaf to hummus and falafel.

Beautiful Nature

If Amman itself doesn’t take your breath away, its surrounding nature certainly will. Mount Nebo is one of the best day-trip destinations, and it offers the most stunning views of the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and the hills of Jerusalem.

Amman Citadel is one of Jordan’s most important historical landmarks, and a visit to Amman isn’t complete without it. This historic site has been inhabited by many civilizations over the centuries, and here are the most important structures you should check out during your visit.

Temple of Hercules

This temple is the most significant Roman structure in the Amman Citadel and the main reason why people visit it in the first place. It mostly consists of the columns of an unfinished temple and the mysterious hand of Hercules that visitors find truly fascinating.

🇮🇹 Tempio di Ercole, Amman, Giordania. Il Tempio romano di Ercole è un monumento collocato nella Cittadella di Amman ad Amman, in Giordania. La struttura fu costruita tra il 162 ed il 166 d.C., durante il regno di Marco Aurelio e quando Marco Gemino fu il governatore della provincia d'Arabia. La costruzione presenta una larghezza di circa 30 X 24 metri e un portico con sei colonne di 10 metri di altezza. Gli archeologi sostengono che il Tempio non fu mai portato a termine, in quanto non sono stati rinvenuti resti di colonne aggiuntive. 🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹 🇬🇧 Temple of Hercules, Amman, Jordan.

Jordan Archaeological Museum

Jordan Archaeological Museum is located on top of the Amman Citadel, and it’s the best place to learn more about  Jordan’s ancient history since it features artifacts dating all the way back to the prehistoric times.

Umayyad Palace

Located right behind the museum, this domed palace will make you see the Amman Citadel in a whole new light. Its exterior is truly breathtaking, but make sure to peek inside while you’re there because the audience hall happens to be its most striking feature.

Jordan is a desert country in the heart of the Middle East. A big part of the country is uninhabitable due to intense heat and lack of water, but the parts that are accessible are great places to visit. Old churches and mosques tell the story of this ancient country, and natural phenomenons such as Petra and the Dead Sea are unique places not found in any other area.

The easiest way to get to Jordan is either by plane, flying into Amman or by one of the 3 land crossings from the neighboring country of Israel. Either way, you will probably find yourself in Amman, the capital of Jordan.

Alcohol is hard to find in most cities, but Amman is a huge international city and with plenty of tourists and different cultures, bars and alcohol are more accessible here than anywhere else in the country.

The Amman Citadel and the palace of the Royal Family are two great places to visit in-between visits to the cafes and tasty Middle Eastern street food.

Close to Amman is Mount Nebo, the mountain where, according to the bible, Moses was shown a view of the Promised Land. Churches and plaques line the mountaintop, telling the history of the mountain from different religion’s point of views, while the viewpoint has an incredible view of the Jordan Valley and parts of Israel.

West of Mt. Nebo is the famous Dead Sea, the lowest place on earth. Due to the high salt content, everything floats in the water, and some of the beaches are eerily quiet because almost nothing can live there. The Ma’in hot springs are located close to the Dead Sea as well, and the pools are a great place to relax in the evening.

In the south is Petra, the most visited attraction in Jordan. This archaeological site is a valley that runs through rock formations and can be dated back to the year 300 B.C. Dozens of tour groups leave every day for simple day trips or longer tours, and rightfully so because Petra was named one of the “New 7 Wonders of The World”.

Don’t forget to eat at a hummus shop in any city you visit and make sure to stop off to chat with the local shopkeepers or Bedouin farmers. Jordanians are known for their hospitality, so chances are you will be offered many cups of delicious, freshly ground coffee every day!

Discovering and eating local street food is a fantastic way to experience the culture and gastronomic traditions of a foreign land.

These destinations are some of the best cities on Earth where you could experience delicious and authentic street food.

Mexico City, Mexico

https://www.instagram.com/p/BspCklkhOvQ/

Mexican street food is legendary, and the undisputed capital of the foodie scene of the country is its capital. Here, you can sample classic dishes like tacos, tamales, huaraches, and quesadillas.

Bangkok, Thailand

Bangkok has one of the most varied and unique street food scenes on the planet. Practically every street is teeming with vendors selling sausages, curry, and even stuffed fish.

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Ho Chi Minh City is a mecca for those that love Southeast Asian flavors. Just by walking through the streets of this Vietnamese city, you can sample delicious foods such as bun cha ca, a vermicelli fish noodle stew.

Amman, Jordan

The Jordanian capital is another inviting destination for street food lovers. Here, you can sample the mix of flavors that has come to define this Middle Eastern capital’s cuisine. Love kebabs? This might be the world’s best city to eat them.
