The Amman Citadel is the highest place in the city. It is surrounded by a 1.7km ( 1 mile) wall. The Citadel is some 850 meters (2,800 feet) above sea level. The Citadel is an important archaeological site, dating back to the Bronze and Iron Ages. Amman was an important city during the Roman and Byzantine era. The Citadel is well worth a look, you get a good view over Amman.

We walked up from the roman theatre, which added to our experience, loved the spectacular views from the top of the hill over the city centre. The call to prayer happened while we were up there and it was amazing hearing it in surround sound and ecco around the hills. It was magical. We enjoyed the archaeology museum and seeing the hand of Hercules. By 1pm it got too hot for us and we had a lovely taxi driver take us back to the city centre. Highly recommend

The citadel is quite lovely, with a fair amount to explore. I highly recommend visiting late in the day so you’re there when the sun sets. Visit the little museum on the premises early before it closes, then wander around as the light becomes golden. We saw at least three couples there for wedding pictures. The cherry on top was ending the day at the little Dar Ne’emeh cafe - sitting on the roof deck as the call to prayer rang and the lights twinkled was glorious

The Amman Citadel is home to many Jordanian artifacts. This downtown Citadel has a long history of occupation by many great civilizations. Many empires lived here over the centuries and the Citadel of Amman is considered to be among the world's oldest continuously inhabited places.

Amman Citadel offers spectacular remnants of the land's rich history. The Citadel overlook the amphitheater and also the panoramic view of the city. For history enthusiasts, and want to learn more about the place, you can hire certified guides for a fee. I do recommend visiting in the late afternoon and stay for the sunset. The city becomes golden with the mesmerizing sunset. Free with Jordan Pass.

The Citadel has stunning views over the city! There is a rich history and lots of different areas of the site to see and visit. You can also climb up on most of the ruins to get up close and personal! It can get a bit crowded, so be patient. You can make this trip as short or as long as you want, depending on how much you want to see.

I took a taxi to reach this place. I showed my Jordan Pass and easily entered . There are several signagess allng the way that explained this attraction. The most photograped area is where the remaining columns stand. Noted some tourists climbing on the ruins for better photo shots. Note that there is a small museum here to visit. For me, I enjoyed most here are the views of the Amman down below. Due to its high location, I could see both the old and new neighborhoods of Amman. Tip: There is a small Restroom for one’s use near the Entrance Area.

The remains of the Temple of Zeus make this a very photogenic location. As the highest point in Amman, it also has a commanding view over the city. The small museum has some interesting exhibits, including some of the oldest human statues reportedly ever discovered. The cafe outside the entrance has a nice terrace and is good value for money.

very nice place to visit, well maintained and it is easy to get to. pathways and signs are everywhere and you can hire a tour guide if you like. early morning visit is recommended to avoid the harsh sun and to enjoy the view

It is a quaint place. Not really much to see. Beautiful view of the Hills of Amman. Go there on a sunny day so you can take pictures of kids playing football next to the ancient Greek temple of Hercules (or was it Roman?). The walk through the ruins of Ummayad palace takes you to another nice view of the hills of Amman. The view of the Roman theater from the top of citadel is beautiful. I felt sad visiting this place. This hill top citadel for the Greeks, then for Romans, than for Ummayads, Ayyubids (not sure if Abbasids had a presence) but there is nothing left of such long history. Amman must have been a thriving town for last 1300 years that very few places in the world can be provide of.
