1. Wadi al-Mujib
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 433 reviews
Reviewed By R2Rondon - Senoia, United States
Wadi (valley in English) al-Mujib is located about 1.5 hour drive South of Amman. The site offers free parking and a remarkable experience. The entrance fee includes a life jacket that is required during the water hike (about an 1 hour each way). They sell some type of water shoes and rent a small hydrophobic bag for personal belongings which will get wet. The experience begins with a platform with a ladder that provides access to the passive river with nice photo spots between the naturally carved walls . Then you will adventure into an opposing stream lazy river with few spots that will challenge your hiking techniques. The trail is fun but it does require a bit of strength and hiking abilities. At the end, you will find a relaxing spot next to a water fall where you can enjoy the little fish that eat your dead skin from your feet. To complete the experience, you will have to return through the same path. You should enjoy the water ride down but be careful with the rocks. Also, try to enjoy gliding through the lazy river while admiring the sky and wall formation. I highly recommend this experience.

Step back 2,000 years in time with a visit to the ruins of this imposing amphitheater, which once held 5,000 spectators, and is still used today for theater and entertainment.

3. The Citadel
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 4,295 reviews
This archaeological landmark features remnants from several different cultures.
Reviewed By jenglos
We were fortunate to arrive at the citadel about 40 mins before sunset which meant we had the most atmospheric experience watching the sunset over Amman while the birds flocked to roost, with the call to prayer playing out from the Mosque. The citadel is a real land mark sitting high above Amman so the views are spectacular over the city. The Roman amphitheater is close by, but if you don't get time to go there you get a good view of it from here. THe site itself is of great archeological importance with Roman remains ( Hercules Temple) , and those of the Palace and church. AT 2JD , this is a must when visiting Amman.

Allow yourself a *minimum* of two hours to visit this Museum - it gives an excellent comprehensive account that reflects Jordan’s history and culture, its people and its precious relics. The Dead Sea Scrolls are priceless! Make sure you go up to the first floor to take part in the interactive invitations....

10. Rainbow Street
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 1,340 reviews
Reviewed By samer2015 - Amman, Jordan
This is one of the nicest streets in Jordan. If you are lucky you will spend few hours walking one of the oldest streets in Jordan. The majority of the buildings are over 80 years old and each one has a different story. The street is filled with coffee shops and restaurants. Plenty of people walking their dogs. You have few of the the best restaurants in Jordan, like the best falafel place in Jordan (Quds), Sufra (fine dining), Wild Jordan (natural , and the oldest Chinese restaurant in Jordan. The viewing point offers a great location to see the Amman Citadel on the opposite mountain. During Summer they also have few open markets, especially on Fridays.
