Overview

Start your journey at the Amman Citadel, one of the oldest continuously inhabited sites in the world. Explore impressive ruins from Roman, Byzantine, and Umayyad periods while enjoying panoramic views over the city.

Continue to the nearby Roman Theatre, a well-preserved 2nd-century amphitheatre carved into the hillside, once hosting thousands of spectators and still used for events today.

Next, visit the King Abdullah I Mosque, known for its striking blue dome and peaceful atmosphere. Visitors are welcome with modest dress.

Then head to the Bethany Beyond the Jordan (Baptism Site), one of Christianity’s most significant pilgrimage sites, believed to be where Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist. Walk along the Jordan River and experience the serene, spiritual setting.

Activity itinerary

King Abdullah Mosque

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
The blue-domed King Abdullah I Mosque, built in the 1980s by the late King Hussein as a memorial to his grandfather, is open to Non-Muslim visitors. The nave with an area of 1,615 m2 has the capacity to house 3,000 worshippers. It is octogonal and distiguished for not having pillars inside. Its dome of 35 m in diameter has a height of 31 metres. A source of radiation was placed in the middle taking the form of a golden star culminating in the Ninety Nine Most Beautiful Names of Allah surrounding the dome's neck. The suspended chandelier of 168 lanterns consists of three circles with the Holy Quranic Verse with the word Allah recurring on every lantern. The fertile land is expressed in the form of a red carpet made of an ornamental textile of recurring patterns meant to direct worshippers towards the Kiblah. All the walls, including the Kiblah, the pulpit, and the Mihrab are panelled with wooden and marble oriels.

The Citadel

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
Jabal al-Qala is one of the seven mountains of Amman, which the Ammonians have long taken as the seat of their rule in the city, followed by Greece, romans and Byzantines who occupied the city respectively until it was occupied by the Islamic conquest in the 7th century AD, where the Umayyad Palace was built on its top. Mount Qalaa in Amman emerged as the capital of the Ammonians.

Roman Theatre

  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
The Roman Amphitheatre is a Roman theatre located in the eastern part of the Jordanian capital Amman, precisely at the foot of Mount Jufa on one of the hills opposite Amman Castle. Greek writing on one of the pillars indicates that this amphitheatre was built in honour of Emperor Antonius Pius, who visited Amman in 130 AD.

The Baptism Site Of Jesus Christ

  • 2h
  • Admission ticket not included
Situated on the eastern bank of the River Jordan, nine kilometres north of the Dead Sea, the archaeological site consists of two distinct areas: Tell Al-Kharrar, also known as Jabal Mar-Elias (Elijah’s Hill) and the area of the churches of Saint John the Baptist near the river. Situated in a pristine natural environment the site is believed to be the location where Jesus of Nazareth was baptized by John the Baptist. It features Roman and Byzantine remains including churches and chapels, a monastery, caves that have been used by hermits and pools in which baptisms were celebrated, testifying to the religious character of the place. The site is a Christian place of pilgrimage.
