Amman Attractions and Thing to Do

In Amman, the Red Sea is a must-visit especially if you’re an avid scuba diver or enjoy snorkeling over the coral reefs. Other sites to see include The Citadel at sunset, the Roman Amphitheatre, the Abu Darwish Mosque, Wadi Zarqa Ma’in and Darat al Funun which means ‘small house of the arts’. The most popular attraction, Petra, is located a three-hour drive outside of Amman - a day-trip worth doing.

There are five great areas to head if you’re looking to shop. The cobblestoned Rainbow Street (Shari’ Al-Rainbow) has many boutiques and cafes. Wakalat Street is where you’ll find shops such as Zara and Gap. If you’re looking for traditional products head to the Abdali Market, which is open Thursday night and Friday. There’s also downtown Amman which is known as the Balad. Here you’ll find woodcarvings, tea sets, hand-carved ornaments and Dead Sea products.
