About this experience
Three relaxed days to really know Jordan's capital. Day one covers old Amman – the Citadel, the Roman Theatre and the downtown souks – and ends at sunset on Rainbow Street. Day two is for museums and neighbourhoods: the Jordan Museum, the art houses and cafés of Jabal al-Weibdeh, the King Abdullah I Mosque, and an evening food walk with dinner downtown.
On day three we leave the city centre for the Cave of the Seven Sleepers, the Hellenistic palace of Qasr al-Abd at Iraq al-Amir and the honey-coloured Ottoman town of As-Salt, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
