Good to know
What is there to do in Amman?
Walk the hilltop Citadel over the white city, see the Roman Theatre downtown, eat through a lively food scene, and take a day trip to Jerash - one of the best-preserved Roman provincial cities. It's the gateway and natural start of the Petra-Wadi Rum-Dead Sea loop. · jordantourplanner.com
Is Amman the gateway to Jordan?
Yes - Queen Alia International (AMM) is Jordan's main hub, about 30 km south of the city, and nearly every itinerary begins and ends in Amman before heading south to Petra, Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea. · jordantourplanner.com
When is the best time to visit Amman?
Spring (Mar-May) and autumn (Sep-Nov) are most comfortable. Summer is hot and dry; winters are cool with some rain. · tourism references
