Traders gift you bread and olives as you explore a traditional food market. Children climb upon the remains of a 2500-year-old citadel. Old men gather to drink tea beside a Roman amphitheatre.
Amman can seem like the typical Middle Eastern city, with sand coloured building on sand coloured hills, hundreds of streetside cafes for drinking sweet tea and strong coffee while smoking a shisha pipe. It’s safe, welcoming, and such an interesting place.
Then there’s youthful, modern Amman. Like new hotel towers from W and Four Seasons. Rainbow Street with its colourful lamps. All the graffiti and murals across the city.
Explore this surprising place with a local guide, from mosques to markets, old to new, and discover the friendly Middle Eastern city vibes.
