The Amman Citadel crowns the highest of Amman's hills, stacking thousands of years in one site: Bronze Age walls, Roman remains, a great Umayyad palace and the soaring Herakles Temple. It doubles as the city's best viewpoint.
The Amman Citadel invites slow roaming among ruins and birdsong. Visit in late afternoon for golden light. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan reach it easily from downtown, and full package tours to Jordan include it at the start.
