Know before you go

• The Roman Theatre is believed to be Greek in origin, but no matter what, it is the place the guide would always start his journey from before heading downtown as a child. With the guide, you will be able to smell the history before you lay eyes on it. Imagine the second biggest Roman theatre in the world among real souqs; the arches and the shops are lined up there, watching the citadel as it sits quietly on top of the surrounding hills. Diversity is what you will find here.
• We will recommend one of those hole-in-the-wall eateries and some Kenafah for dessert to cap off your tour. Maybe a walk on Rainbow St. if you are still eager to take in more of the city. Come to Amman and feel right at home with us!
• Please note:
  • All guests should buy the Jordan Pass to save on paying entrance fees at all the sites.
  • The tour can be altered and customized to fit the client's time and interests.
