Things to Do in Amman, Jordan: 

Watch the dusk from the Citadel 

One of my preferred activities in Amman is to watch the dusk from on the Citadel, which gives extensive perspectives over the city. The view is especially excellent at golden hour and nightfall when the sun shines delicate orange, red and pink tones over the remnants of the Citadel and the encompassing cityscape. One of the most notable locales in Amman, the Citadel sits on the most elevated of the seven slopes that make up Amman, Jabal al-Qal' a. It is a short stroll from downtown, but a precarious one. Try not to miss the Jordan Archaeological Museum while you are there also!

Close to the Citadel and downtown territory of Amman is the Amman Roman Theater, which is another notable site that you ought not to miss on a visit to Amman. The 6,000-seat theater goes back to Roman occasions when people used to call Amman Philadelphia. During your time living in Amman, you will love to sit on the steps on a bright winter day and read. In the mid-year there are in some cases shows in the theater itself. It merits checking with the Jordan Tourism office before your outing to check whether any will be on.

Watch an open-air film 

Though not suitable during winter months but in the mid-year months, the Royal Film Commission in Amman screens films from everywhere throughout the world in an open-air amphitheater. Situated on Jabal Amman, the area gives an excellent background of downtown and the Citadel. Following the screenings, the Royal Film Commission, for the most part, has dialogs and discussions with the general population and in some cases even the movie chiefs themselves.

You need to be at the Royal Film Commission, Jabal Amman to have the pleasure of watching such a cinema.

Look at the street drawing of downtown Amman 

Road workmanship is a generally new thing in Jordan, yet astounding works have begun to spring up everywhere throughout the city. You can find a ton of extraordinary pieces in downtown Amman and you can see those while visiting different locales in the zone. A portion of the messages behind pieces are intriguing, while others are absolutely tastefully engaging and add a dynamic quality to a city loaded up with beige hued structures. While street art is progressively being increasingly acknowledged in Amman, it's yet a district saturated with custom and specialists need to direct away from anything strict, political or disputable.

Eat Shawerma at Reem 

You cannot visit Jordan without attempting Shawerma and one of the most loved spots among local people in Amman is Reem. Situated in "the second circle", this small family-run joint, with its outside retail facade, is continually siphoning out shawarma. Are you confused about what shawarma is? Initially Greek or Turkish, it is fundamentally marinated meat grilled on an upstanding stick, at that point shaved off in bits and overflowed with a pita with different fillings. What makes it so one of a kind at Reem is the marinade for the meat, which is a mystery that only family members of family eatery currently know. For just about a dollar, you also can encounter the well-known Shawerma at Reem!

Visit the Mosque Abu Darwish 

My preferred mosque in Amman is the Ted Burton-esque, Abu Darwish mosque. It is on one of the city’s seven slopes, Jebel al-Ashrafiyeh, and commissioned by King Hussein and inherent 1961. Though working in a customary Levantine style, yet the highly contrasting alternate striped stone makes it so novel. Non-Muslims are not as a rule allowed inside yet the perspectives from outside are sufficient to make it worth visiting.

Downtown Amman, or Al Balad as additionally known, is no shy of shops and bistros. You can purchase generally weaved garments, make your own scent, purchase flavors, eat desserts, or simply watch individuals. Like the midtown regions of many Middle Eastern urban areas, it is perfectly clamorous, tangible over-burden and widely inclusive. There are such a large number of shops to find that my best exhortation is to simply meander all through the midtown zone and let you lose all sense of direction in everything!

Explore the Duke's Diwan 

One of my preferred activities in Amman is to visit the Duke's Diwan, the most established habitation in the city. Leaving the clamoring souks of downtown Amman and venturing up the lopsided stairs of the house, you enter Amman during the 1920s. Everything sits as it generally has – chipped paint, vintage radios and the smell of old books and residue. Every trace of the house loaded up with old updates and stories from every one of the specialists and visionaries who went through to meet and celebrate throughout the years.

Eat Knafeh at Habibah Sweets 

The Middle East is no shy of excessively sweet and debauched deserts and you ought to, likely feel free to plan to attempt them all! One of the most well-known desserts in Jordan and the Middle East is Knafeh spelled in an assortment of ways. It is warm cheddar cake absorbed syrup with a string like outside and frequently sprinkled with pistachio. There is a great deal of discussion with respect to WHO precisely makes the best knafeh in Amman. In any case, there is no uncertainty that Habibah Sweets is certainly up there as one of the bests. This you can discover in the lines of individuals standing by to attempt a chomp!

The first shop is downtown, in a back street close to the Duke's Diwan and Arab Bank, search for the line of individuals.

You will see an alternate air here than in some different pieces of the city – a great deal of expats, a ton of ladies that are not covered, calmer avenues, and you will even hear church ringers.
