The post The Best Reasons to Visit Amman, Jordan appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>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.
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.
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.
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.

]]>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.
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.
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.

]]>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!
