Amman holidays

Once a small farming town Amman has grown to become one of the most sophisticated and contemporary cities in the Middle East. Originally built (like many ancient cities) on seven hills it has now spread across almost 20, linked by a network of roads and highways. Amman holiday Packages with Qatar Airways Holidays are perfect for those who want to embrace a city that has its feet planted firmly in the future, but with some wonderful remnants and ruins standing testament to its rich past.

The city is something of a paradise for food lovers, offering an eclectic cuisine influenced by the Mediterranean, North African and Middle Eastern cultures. Sample fresh falafel, mouth-watering manakish, and succulent shawarma.

  • To dip your toes into Amman’s history, take a trip to Amman Citadel, situated on the top of Jebel-al Qala’a mountain. Here you’ll find Byzantine, Umayyad and Roman ruins, including the stone-hewn Umayyad Palace and the impressive columns of the Temple of Hercules. Ideal for history lovers.
  • Situated in West Amman, the King Hussein Bin Talal Mosque is an inspiring attraction. The largest mosque in Jordan, it’s set in extensive grounds and offers some of the best examples of Jordanian architecture and artistry.
  • Take a day trip from Amman, to visit the ancient city of Petra. Built by the Nabateans in around 312BC, Petra is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and offers the chance to explore the city’s winding, sand-dusted streets, and incredible temple.
  • Shopping in Amman ranges from sleek and chic shopping malls, where you can buy all the latest designer goods, to bustling souks and flea-markets, packed with handmade goods and aromatic spices.
