Amman citadel 😍  The area known as the Citadel sits on the highest hill in Amman, Jebel Al Qala’a (about 850m above sea level), and is the site of ancient Rabbath-Ammon. Occupied since the Bronze Age, it's surrounded by a 1700m-long wall, which was rebuilt many times during the Bronze and Iron Ages, as well as the Roman, Byzantine and Umayyad periods. There's plenty to see, but the Citadel's most striking sights are the Temple of Hercules and the Ummayad Palace.

Lots of people skip Amman as they make their way straight to the Dead Sea or Petra. We really enjoyed our time in the city, and particularly the Citadel. It’s well worth factoring at least a day into exploring this interesting city and make sure you don’t miss the gorgeous Citadel Amman.
