June 27, 2021 Leonarda Pillsbury

Amman's layered history is reflected in its diverse people and its varied architecture. Home to numerous churches and mosques, the city is home to a multidenominational and multicultural population. Even within the midst of the ultra-modern commercial center of the city there is evidence of its ancient roots, with colorful ancient souks, Roman ruins, cultural museums and monuments painting a picture of the history of the region.

Temple of Hercules

Reviewed By 690lexb - Thornlands, Australia

The Temple of Hercules is justly one of the many ruins to see when you do a walking tour of the old Citadel on one of Amman’s highest hills. If you choose to walk up to the Citadel then the hill climbing will test your fitness, but it is worth the climb. Alternatively you can get a very cheap taxi ride up from the old part of Amman. The Temple is worth seeing but so is the rest of the amazing fortress. Don’t forget to check out the museum when you are there. They have a wonderful collection of antiquities from Amman and other parts of Jordan.

Grand Husseini Mosque

Reviewed By samer2015 - Amman, Jordan

The mosque is in the middle of downtown Amman, and it is busy throughout the day. It would be a great opportunity to pass by walking and feel the atmosphere near it. It is definitely different. The Mosque is also powered by Solar PV to cover about two thirds of their annual electricity requirements.
