About this activity
Start your tour with a pickup from your dead sea hotel. Relax in your private, air-conditioned vehicle with your knowledgeable driver and set off on your tour. Upon arrival in Amman, see King Abdullah mosque with the Coptic church in front of it, after that visit Amman Citadel, a walled, hilltop collection of antiquities above the city. Stroll around the time-worn Roman, Byzantine and early Islamic relics, and visit the Citadel's Amman Archaeological Museum to see its displays of dusty antiquities uncovered by archaeological digs across the country; Dead Sea scrolls among the artefacts there.
Then proceed to the Roman amphitheater. which has Greek origin because it is carved into a hillside, this stunning 2nd-century structure is the most notable remnant of Philadelphia, the ancient city that once stood on the site of Amman. Admire its tiered sides and imagine its seats filled with the 6,000 spectators who once gathered here to watch plays. In fact the theater is in down-town Amman, so when you leave from the citadel to the theater, you pass the Raghadan Palace, the burial place of the late King Hussein. Next to the theater you start to see the old markets, mosques, food stalls, while driving to the affluent residential neighbourhood of Abdoun, and Swefieh, where luxury shopping malls frame the streets.
