About the city of Amman: Your comprehensive guide

Perched on seven hills, this vibrant metropolis invites travelers to explore its rich tapestry of history and modernity. At the heart of its allure is the ancient citadel, a historical jewel offering panoramic views and a glimpse into the civilizations that have shaped the region. As you wander through bustling souks and serene neighborhoods, the blend of old and new crafts an unforgettable urban rhythm. To fully embrace the local culture, indulge in the culinary delights, where each dish, from mansaf to falafel, tells a story of tradition and flavor.

Gastronomy: Delicious Discoveries

Amman offers a diverse culinary landscape that reflects its rich cultural heritage. Foodies will delight in traditional dishes such as mansaf, the national dish made with lamb cooked in a sauce of fermented dried yogurt and served with rice. Another must-try is maqluba, an upside-down rice and vegetable dish seasoned with a mix of aromatic spices and typically accompanied by chicken or lamb.

For those who enjoy street food, falafel and shawarma stands are ubiquitous throughout the city, offering fresh, flavorful options that are both satisfying and affordable. Be sure to also try kanafeh, a sweet cheese pastry soaked in syrup, which is a favorite dessert among locals.

When it comes to beverages, you cannot miss out on trying the local lemon-mint juice, a refreshing drink especially popular during the hot summer months. For coffee enthusiasts, traditional Arabic coffee with cardamom is a staple and a great way to experience local flavors and customs.

Transportation and getting around the city

When you arrive at Queen Alia International Airport, you have a few options to get into Amman. The most straightforward is probably taking one of the airport taxis available right outside the terminal. These are officially metered, ensuring fair pricing. Alternatively, you can opt for a ride-hailing service like Uber or Careem, which are widely used in the city and can be a bit cheaper.

Once in the city, public transport mainly consists of buses, which are pretty affordable but can be a bit confusing if you're not familiar with the routes. For more convenience, taxis are abundant and relatively inexpensive. Just make sure the meter is running to avoid overpaying. For exploring central areas like Downtown, Rainbow Street, and the historic sites, walking is actually quite pleasant and allows you to soak in the atmosphere at your own pace.

If you're interested in a more structured sightseeing experience, the Amman Tour Bus is a great option. You can hop on and off at various major attractions around the city. Tickets are available online or at major tourist spots.

In terms of practical travel tips, Jordanian dinar is the local currency. While larger establishments accept credit cards, smaller shops, local eateries, and taxis usually prefer cash, so it's wise to keep some on hand. When it comes to staying powered up, Jordan uses type C, D, F, G, and J sockets, and the standard voltage is 230 V, so bringing a universal adapter would be a good idea if your devices have different plug types.
