Known worldwide as the White City for its stunning architecture, Amman is home to a trove of superb cultural treasures. The city is thought to be one of the oldest continuously inhabited places in Asia, so here tourists can find ancient Roman ruins and Islamic architecture ranging from ancient times to the Ottoman Empire and many modern buildings as well. Joining Free Tours in Amman will provide an opportunity to visit the Roman Baths in the Old Town. Nearby tourists will find the 2nd-century Roman Theatre of Amman, a huge 6,000-seat landmark next to the Hashemite Plaza. But the highlight of any trip to Jordan’s capital might be the Citadel, a hill steeped in history and inhabited since 1200 BC. The Neo-Assyrian Empire, Neo-Babylonian Empire, the Ptolemies, the Seleucids, Romans, Byzantines and the Umayyads left their imprint here. For a taste of modern architecture, visit King Abdullah I Mosque, where 3,000 people can pray at the same time.
