Jordan is a country best seen with a plan, and Amman is where that plan starts. Jerash is under an hour away, the Dead Sea about an hour's drive, and Petra and Wadi Rum around three to four hours to the south.

In the city

Amman is built over many hills. The Roman Theatre sits in the old downtown, and the Citadel above it holds the Temple of Hercules and the Umayyad Palace, looking out over the city. In the evening, Rainbow Street and Jabal Al Weibdeh are good for cafés and a walk.

Jerash is one of the best preserved Roman cities in the Middle East, and at the Dead Sea, the lowest point on land, you can float on the water. Petra makes a long day, so tell us if you would rather stay nearby than return the same evening. Spring and autumn bring mild days that suit sightseeing.
