What to Do / Eat in Amman, Jordan

DO

Amman Citadel – Amman has a lot of fascinating Roman ruins, including this citadel that’s right in the middle of the city.

Jerash – Speaking of Roman ruins, if that’s something you’re interested in, Jerash is a must-visit.

EAT

Habiba Sweets – Kanafe is one of the all-time underrated desserts, and the version at Habiba Sweets might just be the best I’ve ever had.

Hashem Restaurant – If you’re looking for tasty hummus and falafel, you’ve gotta check out the legendary Hashem Restaurant.

Lebanese Um Khalil – Before or after you check out Jerash, get some tasty eats at this great Lebanese restaurant.

McDonald’s – There isn’t much of note at McDonald’s in Jordan, though I was able to try an okay strawberry custard pie.
