Amman Holiday Packages
Amman is a city of contrasts where ultra-modern buildings and amenities are built on a hilly area between the fertile Jordan valley and the desert. It is also where half of the population in Jordan is concentrated.
So, if there's one city in Jordan where you can experience the old, new, and warmth, Amman is it. Enjoy an older and more traditional experience in the downtown area, feel the modern-day prosperity in the city center, and embrace the welcoming warmth of the people of Jordan.
La Vacanza will take you there with our Amman Holiday Packages. Book a day tour, private or with a group, or book an entire week or a month.
Top Places to Visit in Jordan
Citadel : Located in the heart of both modern and ancient Amman, a visit to this place will show you the Temple of Hercules, the Byzantine Church, the Umayyad Palace, and the National Archaeological Museum. This is where you can see the contrasts that thrived in the city.
Rainbow St. : Named after the old and now unused Rainbow Cinema, this area near the 1st Circle in Jabal Amman has many old houses that have been restored and reused, cafes and bars, and occasional outdoor screenings that are hosted by the Royal Film Commission, Hammam.
Darat al Funun : This 'small house of the arts' in Jabal el Weibdeh is home to a permanent collection that is housed in three 1920 villas built next to each other. Overlooking the heart of Amman, there’s more to see in this place than just art and history.
Top Things to Do in Jordan
Visit museums : The capital city of Jordan has plenty of historical and cultural nests that you can visit. The Jordan Museum, the Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts, the National Archaeological Museum, Royal Automobile Museum, and the National Art Gallery are just some of the museums that you can visit.
Add to this a trip to the Roman Theater, the Ammonite-era watchtower, and the Roman-era Nymphaeum and your historical adventure is complete.
Watch the muezzin call from the view point : From the view point near the Citadel, you will have an unobstructed view of the whole city as they respond to the muezzin call. Seeing this cultural activity has been known to leave an unforgettable acoustic impression.
Experience the old and new : Explore Balad or the central downtown area and see what it was like living in "Old Amman”. Here, you will also find local street vendors and souqs. If you want to experience Jordan’s modern-day prosperity, visit the city center.
Top Attractions and Landmarks in Jordan
Roman Theatre : Often the highlight for most foreign visitors, this magnificently restored theatre is what remained of the Roman Philadelphia that is cut into a hill’s northern side. It has a 6000-seating capacity.
Citadel : Home to the Temple of Hercules and the Ummayad Palace, the Citadel should be part of your itinerary. As it sits on Jebel Al Qala’a, the highest hill in the city, it also provides you with the best vantage point.
