Authentic Amman
Amman is the capital and gateway to the country of Jordan, easing travelers into local life before they start exploring. While Amman is a young city for the Middle East, it does have a few ancient ruins like the Amman Citadel and Roman Theater worth seeing.
Other major sights in the city tend to be mosques, with both the King Abdullah I Mosque and the Grand Husseini Mosque the most impressive. Beyond sightseeing, the various cafes and malls of Amman make it a pleasant place to unwind between excursions.
