Amman
Spread across a series of sun-drenched hills, Amman is a captivating blend of ancient heritage and modern Middle Eastern charm. Jordan’s vibrant capital invites travellers to wander between Roman ruins, lively souks, elegant cafés and sweeping viewpoints overlooking its cream-coloured skyline. At the crossroads of history, culture and warm hospitality, Amman is the ideal starting point for discovering the country’s legendary landscapes — from the rose-red city of Petra to the silent deserts of Wadi Rum and the mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea.
Must-sees:
- The Citadel (Jabal Al-Qala’a): Home to the Temple of Hercules and the Umayyad Palace, offering panoramic views over the city.
- Roman Theatre: A beautifully preserved 2nd-century amphitheatre still used for concerts and events.

- King Abdullah I Mosque: Known for its striking blue dome and peaceful atmosphere.
- Jordan Museum: The country’s most important cultural institution, with artefacts spanning millennia.
Culinary culture:
Amman’s food scene is a celebration of Levantine flavours. Savour classics such as mansaf, Jordan’s national dish made with lamb and jameed yoghurt, or indulge in mezze plates filled with hummus, falafel, tabbouleh and warm khubz bread. Street food lovers should not miss kanafeh, a sweet cheese pastry soaked in syrup, best enjoyed fresh in downtown Amman. Pair your meals with local mint tea or freshly squeezed juices for an authentic taste of the city.
Dive deeper:
Beyond its energetic boulevards, Amman reveals quiet, atmospheric corners. Explore the historic districts of Jabal Al-Weibdeh and Jabal Amman, where leafy streets meet independent cafés and art studios. Visit traditional craft workshops, or join a cooking class to learn the secrets of Jordanian cuisine. For a change of scenery, Amman makes an ideal base for day trips — whether to the desert castles of the east, the mosaics of Madaba, or the dramatic canyons of Wadi Mujib.
Good to know:
Amman is served by Queen Alia International Airport, located about 35 minutes from the city centre. The best time to visit is March to May or September to November, when temperatures are warm and comfortable for exploring. The local currency is the Jordanian dinar (JOD).
Petra
Carved deep into a desert canyon and glowing with its iconic rose-red hues, Petra is one of the world’s most extraordinary archaeological treasures. Once the thriving capital of the Nabataean kingdom, this ancient city reveals a labyrinth of temples, tombs and rock-cut façades sculpted over 2,000 years ago. Approached through the narrow Siq, Petra unveils its most famous masterpiece, Al-Khazneh, the Treasury - shimmering like a mirage in the shifting light. A UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, Petra offers an unforgettable journey into history and mystery.
Must-sees:
- The Treasury (Al-Khazneh): Petra’s most iconic monument, best admired at sunrise when the sandstone glows pink and gold.
- The Monastery (Ad-Deir): A spectacular climb leads to this monumental façade set high above the valley.
- Royal Tombs: A series of vast, intricately carved chambers overlooking the amphitheatre.
- The Siq: A dramatic, winding gorge guiding visitors to the heart of Petra.
- Petra by Night: Thousands of candles illuminate the Treasury in one of Jordan’s most atmospheric experiences.
Culinary culture:
The Petra region offers hearty, aromatic dishes rooted in Bedouin tradition. Savour zarb, a slow-cooked meal prepared in an underground sand oven, or feast on mansaf, Jordan’s national dish of lamb and fermented yoghurt. Local cafés serve warming teas infused with sage, while desert camps offer sweet pastries and freshly baked flatbread under star-filled skies.
Dive deeper:
Beyond its famous monuments, Petra reveals quieter wonders. Trek to the High Place of Sacrifice for sweeping views, wander through the Colonnaded Street, or explore lesser-known trails once used by nomadic tribes. For a deeper cultural connection, spend time with local Bedouin guides who share stories of life in the desert and the history of their ancestors who once inhabited the caves around Petra.
Good to know:
Petra is located in Wadi Musa, about 2 hours from Aqaba and 3 hours from Amman by car. The best time to visit is March to May or September to November, when temperatures are mild for hiking.
