Amman has been inhabited for millennia, known as Rabbath-Ammon in biblical times and later as Roman Philadelphia. The Citadel hills still hold the ruins of successive civilisations, each layer built atop the last.
Today's city harmonises that deep past with a modern skyline of cafés and boulevards. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan start their story here, and full package tours to Jordan begin in the old heart of the capital.
