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.

Admission not included60 min

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 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 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.

The city tour of Amman,...

The city tour of Amman, and once again, we had an amazing time! Lucky for us, we got the same driver as our earlier tour to Petra - Nabeel! His friendly and professional demeanour made the trip even more enjoyable. The city tour itself was well-paced, with plenty of time to explore the various sites. From the historic landmarks to the bustling streets, we were able to take everything in at a comfortable pace. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Amman!

Not worth the money - no value for the money. Only driver and no guide on the trip.

The 3 stops on the tour were: Amman Citadel, Roman Theater and King Abdullah Mosque. The places are really nice and definitely worth a visit. However, it will be clearly cheaper to take a taxi e.g. an Uber around to the locations. Our driver was just a driver and not a guide. In addition, we had to pay for entrance tickets alongside the tour price. It is quite simple to cheat the tourists, where you give 10 x the price for the same trip, than if you had, for example, driven around with a taxi or Uber.

Operator response

Dear client, sorry that you had this, but after checking our records we didn't find your booking anywhere, so seems that you added this review for the wrong agency

Make time for the The Citadel!

If you love history, make lots of time for The Citadel and the Roman Theatre, and give the Blue Mosque a miss (mostly due to the chinzy gift shop at the end).
