Amman Panoramic Private Tour Half Day

You will begin the private tour with a morning pickup from your hotel in Amman. You will meet our driver/guide and start exploring the highlights of the Jordanian capital. As you travel, you'll learn about the history of this fascinating city, whose past dates back to 3500 BC or earlier. You will hear about the city's days under the Roman Empire, and how it was occupied by the Nabataeans and Byzantines.

You will see one of the main attractions of Amman, the King Abdullah Mosque, famous for its blue mosaic dome and the nearby Coptic Church. Then, you will drive to the Amman Citadel, and visit the collection of antiquities on top of the hill together with a private local guide. You'll explore ancient Roman, Byzantine and Islamic relics, and visit the Citadel's Temple of Hercules and the Archaeological Museum to learn about its collections of ancient artifacts discovered at sites across Jordan.

You will continue to the Roman Amphitheatre, a magnificent hillside structure believed to have been built in the 2nd century. You'll admire the symmetry and scale of the Theater as your guide explains how it was built as part of the Roman city of Philadelphia and could hold up to 6,000 spectators.

Then you will visit the Museum of Popular Traditions to see the exhibition of traditional clothing and jewelry. Next, "Raghadan Palace", the burial place of the late King Hussein, and you will tour the city center to enjoy free time in its vibrant markets, traditional mosques and churches.

Later, you will stroll along Rainbow Street, Amman's colorful art and shopping center, past the Jordan River Foundation and King Talal's residence. You will enter the luxury neighborhoods of "Abdoun" and "Swefieh", where luxury shopping malls and luxurious private villas line the streets.

The tour will end with the transfer to your hotel.

Optionally, you can request a stop at one of the malls on your tour such as Galleria or Taj Mall or at Abdali Boulevard, a new and elegant enclave of designer stores considered as the up and coming center of Amman.

Greca Tip: In step 1/3 when entering your reservation you have the option to add a few more tours to your tour: Reserve an extension to visit the Jordan Museum and the Royal Automobile Museum. Opt for an "Arabic Mezze" (small plates) lunch, at a local restaurant. Or choose the Turkish Bath and Arabic Lunch option and indulge in a luxurious Turkish Bath experience, including an invigorating steam bath session, soapy exfoliation and muscle-melting massage.
