Jordan’s capital is one of the oldest continually inhabited places on earth. After 10 millennia of occupation by various civilisations, Amman came under Roman control in 106 AD and was transformed into a grandiose city of colonnaded marble streets, lavish baths, impressive theatres and magnificent public buildings.

The Roman influence is particularly evident in the beautifully preserved ruins of nearby Jerash, while Amman itself boasts countless relics from the Byzantine and Ottoman periods. The city also houses several great museums focusing on Jordan’s history and the culture of its Bedouin people.
