The blue-domed King Abdullah I Mosque, built in the 1980s by the late King Hussein as a memorial to his grandfather, is open to Non-Muslim visitors. The nave with an area of 1,615 m2 has the capacity to house 3,000 worshippers. It is octogonal and distiguished for not having pillars inside. Its dome of 35 m in diameter has a height of 31 meters. A source of radiation was placed in the middle taking the form of a golden star culminating in the Ninety Nine Most Beautiful Names of Allah surrounding the dome's neck. The suspended chandelier of 168 lanterns consists of three circles with the Holy Quranic Verse with the word Allah recurring on every lantern. The fertile land is expressed in the form of a red carpet made of an ornamental textile of recurring patterns meant to direct worshippers toward the Kiblah. All the walls, including the Kiblah, the pulpit, and the Mihrab are panelled with wooden and marble oriels.
Jabal al-Qala is one of the seven mountains of Amman, which the Ammonians have long taken as the seat of their rule in the city, followed by Greece, romans and Byzantines who occupied the city respectively until it was occupied by the Islamic conquest in the 7th century AD, where the Umayyad Palace was built on its top. Mount Qalaa in Amman emerged as the capital of the Ammonians.
The Roman Amphitheatre is a Roman theater located in the eastern part of the Jordanian capital Amman, precisely at the foot of Mount Jufa on one of the hills opposite Amman Castle. Greek writing on one of the pillars indicates that this amphitheater was built in honor of Emperor Antonius Pius, who visited Amman in 130 AD.

I spent a great day with my Driver Noor. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. The places that he took me to were very interesting. Honestly, it was Noor that made the day so great
The half day tour encompassed the Citadel, the Roman Theater, and the King Abdullah Mosque. Driver very nice but essentially a taxi cab.
I had a great trip this morning. My driver Bader was a top man and made the trip more enjoyable by giving me more information.
Awesome experience. Ramzi was fantastic from start to finish. He picked me at my hotel on time, was courteous and professional in every way DESPITE that I Booked this tour only a few hours beforehand
A great way to see the highlights with limited time. Our driver was really flexible. We were never rushed and had plenty of time to see everything as we wanted. He made certain we got to the entrances and that we knew what we were doing and where he would be waiting, which he was even if we were early. Great local knowledge. Felt really safe. Definitely recommend.
The duration is short and the information is sufficient for the highlights of Amman..........................mmmmm...........
With the help of Jordan Lux tours & our driver ~Yousef Musleh, our trip was excellent & beyond expected. We highly recommend them for any Jordan tours.
Guide was on time, friendly and car was clean. Great way to get an overview of the top sites including Citadel, Roman theater and Blue Mosque.
Mohammed was a very good leader. Unfortunately, the hotel pickup did not work because the organizer did not forward our hotel change to him, although we confirmed.
The tour stops were excellent especially as I didn’t really have an interest in the automobile museum, but ended up enjoying it nonetheless. There was a downside at the blue-domed mosque shop as I made a purchase of some cosmetics, but found on opening the product expired this month. So really a 4.5 rating. Driver Mahommod was excellent and very patient waiting when we stayed longer at one stop.
