Jordan

Jordan, officially known as the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, is a country located in the West Asia region, bordering Syria, Iraq, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the Red Sea. The capital of the country is Amman, and the largest city is Aqaba. Jordan is a dry country surrounded by hills and mountains in the Levant region. In addition, Jordan has many famous attractions such as the ancient city of Petra, the Dead Sea, the Jordan River Valley mentioned in the Old Testament, and the tourist destination of Oman. These attractions make Jordan a popular tourist destination. Jordan is a traditionally monarchic country, and King Abdullah II is the monarch. The official language of the country is Arabic, and the majority of the population practices Islam. Jordan's economy is mainly based on tourism, chemical industry, agriculture, and mineral extraction, and the country is also a commercial center in the Middle East. In terms of politics, Jordan has always been one of the relatively stable countries in the Middle East, and it has a place in Middle Eastern and international affairs. As a country that follows Islamic law, Jordan has a deep understanding and appreciation of Islamic culture and traditions, and also supports and promotes the harmonious development of Islam. My itinerary started from Dubai to Amman, Jordan. The next day, I went to Jerash, which can be reached by charter or by taking a minibus from the North Station. Jerash has preserved a large number of ancient Roman ruins, and the rise and fall of ancient Rome can be seen in the ruins. After returning from Jerash, I visited the ancient Roman theater and Citadel Hill in Amman. The next day, I went to Petra and chatted with a Dutch guy on the way. Petra is a very large ancient city, and it can be tiring to walk around, but overall it was manageable. Continuing down from Petra, I arrived at Wadi Rum, which is famous for its red desert and is the most Mars-like place on this planet. I stayed in the desert for one night and saw the starry sky that I hadn't seen in a long time. The local Bedouin people were very hospitable, and there were people from all over the world in the tents. Continuing down from Petra, you will arrive at Aqaba, the only port city in Jordan, a small town different from other cities in Amman. Finally, I went to the Dead Sea to experience floating. If you have wounds on your body, you will float especially easily.

Amman's Roman Theatre

Amman's Roman Theatre is a 6,000-seat, 2nd-century Roman theatre. A famous landmark in the Jordanian capital, it dates back to the Roman period when the city was known as Philadelphia.

A day of fun in Amman, Jordan, with a beautiful sunset on Castle Hill

A day of fun in Amman, Jordan, with a beautiful sunset on Castle Hill. I went to Jordan, a very impressive niche travel destination, and I think half a day is enough for the capital, Amman. Castle Hill in Amman Recommended to go at sunset, you can see the beautiful sunset in Jordan, the sky is pink. Roman open-air theater You can overlook it from Castle Hill, and there is a square in front of the theater. Amman Market Personally, I like to visit local markets when I travel, where I can feel the atmosphere, visit souvenir shops, eat snacks, I bought a sunset sand painting from Jordan, which is in a bottle. Remember to bargain when shopping. Snacks: Arab coffee: You can see that it is heated with boiling sand, served in a disposable paper cup, the taste is very unique, with a strong spice flavor. Kanafeh is a well-known Middle Eastern dessert, with various shapes, all sprinkled with crushed pistachios, the one I ate was really delicious! The sweetness is moderate, the filling is cheese, and it should be eaten while hot. Some others may be sweeter, and you can also buy bagged ones at the airport, which I quite like. Shawarma: I ordered takeout, the Jordanian fast food set is Shawarma, fries and pickles, this roll is really delicious! Falafel: Fried bean balls, and also made into sandwiches, I don't like it. Finally, I want to emphasize that girls should be careful not to go alone, do not go to Jordan alone. Don't go to Rainbow St, there is really nothing, the small streets and alleys are extremely unsafe.

Under the eyes of God, it is clear that two distinct cities are distinguished. In the eastern part of the city, an ancient city is located in the center of the city. The rolling hills and hills line the dense yellow and white houses, and the ancient traditions and conservative pulse are everywhere. Looking at the western part of the city, luxury villas, shopping malls and reinforced concrete urban forests occupy most of the chapters, and it is reminiscent of the modern look that has flourished. Sunset may be the best time to enjoy Amman, and as the sunset changes, the white buildings of the city will shine more and more in the fading warmth. The ancient Roman theater under the Castle Hill in the old town was also taken back by the sun. In addition to the spectacular day, it began to become lonely and mysterious. People gathered in twos and threes to listen to the prayers from the distant mosque. The huge city propaganda posters are no longer eye-catching, fading away the sense of distance during the day, and telling the moving stories of the city in the dark.

Queen Alia Amman Airport

An amazing airport, i had a stopover there and I didn’t feel the time. It is spacious,it has many things to do and you won’t feel the time while waiting for your other flights. I recommend taking stopovers there due to the fact that it contains a lounge area to stay and relax, buy coffee,charge your phone and many other unlimited things. In addition, the duty free area has alot of great deals and stuff to buy. (May be a little expensive tho).

Roman Theater - the most magnificent sight

The Roman Theater is one of the most magnificent sights in Amman. The tilted and sloping theater has incredible acoustics, is cleverly designed and can accommodate approximately 6,000 people. Visitors are easily surprised by the immense space and the thought of crowds gathering here nearly 2,000 years ago. Visitors can see Roman influence everywhere in Amman. As you walk to the amphitheater, you will walk along the ruins of a Roman street and past the colonnades of the Citadel of Corin. In the fourth century, a market was held in this location between the theater and the street. It is believed that the Roman Theater was built in the second century during the reign of Antoninus Pius. The theater was built on the north side of a hill. This means that the theater has ideal lighting during the day so that sunlight hits the stage but does not reach the audience's eyes. Walk through the side entrances to enter the music bay and onto the stage. Stand in the middle of the stage and listen to your own voice echo throughout the auditorium. The theater's acoustics are excellent. Visitors will find the Museum of Jordanian People's Traditions in the rooms behind the entrance and the Amman Museum of Folk Traditions on the other side. Seating in the theater is divided into three horizontal areas. The highest seat of the theater is called “The Gods”. Behind the seat is a small shrine worshiping the goddess Athena. The Roman theater was rebuilt and is today a place of entertainment and socializing. The two museums charge a nominal admission fee and opening hours vary seasonally. The theater is located on Hashmi Street in central Amman. Visit the theater in the morning to take photos when the light is at its softest, visit during the day to avoid the hustle and bustle of Amman, or come in the evening to see the stage illuminated by extraordinary floodlights. #mytravelhacks#historicallandmarks#localguides#trip

A Stage Through Time: The Amman Roman Theater

Carved into the northern slopes of Jabal Al- Jofeh in Amman, the Roman Theater stands as a testament to the city's rich history. Built during the reign of Roman emperor Antoninus Pius, the theater served as a center for entertainment and public gatherings during the Roman era (63 BC - 324 CE). The theater boasts an impressive architectural design. Its horseshoe-shaped auditorium, with a capacity of approximately 6,000 spectators, is divided into three tiers: the ima cavea (lowest tier) for high-ranking officials, the media cavea (middle tier) for the middle class, and the summa cavea (top tier) for the general public. The stage, elevated 1.5 meters, was originally decorated with elaborate marble panels and statues. #hiddengems
