Final Day in Amman | A Relaxing Trip to Roman Theater & Balcony Café Near the Hotel Today marks our last day in Jordan. We took it slow in the morning, lounging around the hotel until 11:30 before checking out. After storing our luggage, we called an Uber to visit the only destination on our itinerary for the day—the Roman Theater. Amman at noon in May is scorching hot ☀️, so we unanimously decided to take a car directly to the site. Walking even a few extra minutes under the blazing sun could lead to heatstroke (not exaggerating here). Better to save our energy for exploring the attraction itself! 🎭 About the Roman Theater This massive theater, capable of seating 6,000 spectators, was built in the 2nd century AD during the Roman Empire era. It is one of the remnants of ancient Philadelphia (modern-day Amman). Ingeniously constructed into the hillside, the theater remains remarkably well-preserved. The site also includes the Jordan Museum of Popular Traditions and the Folklore Museum, perfect for escaping the sun and enjoying some air conditioning. 🕰 Opening Hours & Tickets: • ⏰ Summer: Open daily from 08:00–18:00; Winter: 08:00–16:00 • 💰 Tickets: 1 JD (Free with Jordan Pass) When we arrived, the heat was indeed unbearable, and the theater itself offered no shade. We headed straight to the museum interiors to cool off 😆. Unexpectedly, my friends ended up surrounded by a large group of local girls! They were fascinated by Asian faces, asking for photos and even our Instagram handles and phone numbers (we couldn’t stop laughing 🤣). After the photo session, I escaped to a shaded area to relax while watching my friends bask in the spotlight under the blazing sun 😂. After leaving the theater, we took an Uber back to the hotel area and started searching for a good spot to unwind for the afternoon. We found Jafra Restaurant & Café, located in an old building in the city center. Its second-floor balcony offers a direct view of the old streets, full of charm. We also noticed many locals enjoying shisha, so I decided to try one last puff myself ✨🌬️. After finishing our drinks, we returned to the hotel lounge to relax on the sofas while waiting for the driver to take us to the airport. We thought our familiar driver Hani would come, but surprisingly, it was the same driver who had taken us from Wadi Rum to the Dead Sea—the one who needed frequent bathroom breaks during the 4-hour trip 😆. 🛫 Today, the four of us are flying on different flights, all heading to Europe—Milan, London, and my destination, Rome. Initially, we thought we wouldn’t get a proper chance to say goodbye, but due to flight delays, we ended up having time to bid farewell at the airport. Watching them board their planes one by one was both heartwarming and bittersweet. Goodbye, Jordan! Next stop: Rome 🇮🇹

[5/29｜Farewell to the Dead Sea × First Day in Amman: Mountain City Exploration and Shopping Spree on Rainbow Street!] Woke up early at around 6 AM today. Tried to go back to sleep but couldn’t, so I decided to get up early and take one last dip in the Dead Sea before checking out. Turns out Hilton’s beach and pool don’t open until 8 AM because they have lifeguards on duty, and their shift starts at 8 sharp! By 7 AM, we were already lounging on the poolside chairs, scrolling through our phones and zoning out. The morning breeze and the sight of the sky gradually brightening over the Dead Sea felt surreal and relaxing. ⸻ 🧂 Final Dead Sea Float: Learning to "Know When to Stop" As soon as the doors opened at 8 AM, we headed straight to the sea. This time, I was smarter and only applied Dead Sea mud to my hands and feet. Yesterday, I covered myself entirely in mud and spent half the day scrubbing it off in the shower. Today, I kept it simple and just enjoyed the "floating sensation." With fewer guests around, the sea was quiet, the sunlight was gentle, and the water shimmered like a silver mirror—absolutely blissful. After floating in the Dead Sea until 9 AM, we returned to our room to shower and get ready for breakfast. Hilton’s breakfast was truly impressive—not only was there a wide variety of dishes, but the quality was excellent, and the service was top-notch. The staff even personally recommended juices and signature dishes. It was everything you’d expect from a five-star hotel. ⸻ 🚗 Travel Day: Dead Sea → Amman We checked out at noon and bid farewell to the Dead Sea. Today’s driver was a substitute since our original driver Hani’s car was still under repair. The replacement was a young driver whose driving style was more "spirited," but at least he spoke English, which was better than yesterday’s temporary driver. The drive took about two hours, climbing from the lowest point on Earth to Jordan’s capital, Amman. The transition from the tranquil Dead Sea to the bustling Middle Eastern city was striking—suddenly, there were skyscrapers everywhere and luxury cars aplenty! ⸻ 🏨 Hotel Review: The Boutique Hotel Amman We originally booked two double rooms for two nights, but the hotel proactively messaged us to offer a free upgrade to a family suite. The suite included two bedrooms, a living room, a small kitchen, and two bathrooms—such thoughtful service! ⸻ 🛍 Amman’s Price Shock: Carrefour is Heaven After checking in, we visited the nearby Carrefour and were stunned: water was only 0.25 JD! In tourist areas like Petra and the Dead Sea, a 1.5-liter bottle of water costs anywhere from 0.5 to 2 JD. Souvenirs like magnets, which cost 5 JD at tourist spots, were only 1-2 JD in the city. If you’re visiting Jordan, save your shopping for Amman—it’s cheaper and more convenient! ⸻ 🏛 Afternoon Attraction: Amman Citadel After resting until 4 PM, we headed to one of Amman’s most famous historical sites—the Amman Citadel. 📍 Quick Note: Amman’s Terrain Amman is a typical hill city, with buildings extending along the hilly landscape. Driving often involves sharp turns and uphill climbs. Although the hotel said it was a 20-minute walk, we opted for a taxi instead. Uber is very affordable in the city, costing around 1.5-2 JD (approximately 65-80 TWD). For sightseeing, it’s best not to overexert yourself. 📍 About Amman Citadel: • Located on one of Amman’s highest hills, with history dating back to the Bronze Age • Served as a fortress for Roman, Byzantine, and Islamic empires • Key ruins include: the Temple of Hercules, Byzantine church remains, and the surviving Umayyad Palace Our group’s dress code today was beige tones, which paired perfectly with the ruins for a cinematic vibe. We ended up taking photos for 2.5 hours—it felt like a professional photoshoot! ⸻ 🛑 Rainbow Street Taxi Price Drama After leaving the Citadel, we planned to head to Rainbow Street. At the Citadel entrance, a taxi driver quoted us 20 JD!? We checked Uber and saw it was only 1.3 JD, so we refused. The driver then dropped his price from 20 to 10, then to 5—absolutely ridiculous. In the end, we stuck with Uber. Highly recommend checking Uber prices before deciding on transportation in Amman. ⸻ 🍽 Dinner @ Mijana + Shopping Spree on Rainbow Street For dinner, we chose Mijana, a restaurant with over 20,000 reviews and a 4.8-star rating on Google. The ambiance was beautiful, and the atmosphere was great, but we found the food average and slightly pricey—about 20 JD per person, including drinks. After dinner, we wandered freely along Rainbow Street, which is filled with shops run by local artists, small design brands, and jewelry stalls. We bought necklaces, rings, bracelets, and other accessories until we couldn’t carry anymore—our shopping enthusiasm was reignited! Initially, we felt cold during dinner and wanted to return to the hotel, but the street’s lights and market vibe instantly warmed us up 😆 ⸻ 🌃 Amman Night & Summary Amman’s nighttime temperature drops significantly—from 28°C during the day to 15°C at night—so remember to bring a jacket! Today’s itinerary wasn’t packed, but every stop felt just right. The Citadel and Rainbow Street completely changed our perception of Amman’s charm as a mountain city. With affordable prices, diverse food options, and cheap transportation, we recommend ending your Jordan trip in Amman to relax and shop to your heart’s content!

Requires transfers via Ma’an. Not recommended for tight schedules. ⸻ 🧭 Petra Tips for Budget Travelers 🎟️ Buy the Jordan Pass – Includes your visa AND entrance to Petra, Wadi Rum & more. Saves you loads if you plan to hit more than one site. 🌅 Visit early or late – Beat the crowds and the sun. Petra is magical at sunrise. 🥪 Pack snacks – Food near the site is expensive. Stock up in Wadi Musa. 🚶 Wear good shoes – Petra = a LOT of walking. Also, skip the overpriced camel rides. ⸻ 💡 Backpacker Ride-Savvy Hacks 🚖 Use Careem for shared rides from Amman to Petra — more flexible than a taxi and cheaper when split 👣 Stay in hostels with ride boards – Easy way to split costs with fellow travelers 🗺️ Combine Petra with Wadi Rum – Many budget tours offer both. Ask around in Wadi Musa!

Amman's skyline is adorned by the majestic King Abdullah I Mosque, a captivating landmark that reflects religious significance with architectural beauty. Completed in 1989, the mosque stands as a tribute to King Hussein's grandfather, King Abdullah I, the founder of modern Jordan. The mosque's most striking feature is its impressive dome. Gleaming blue and adorned with intricate mosaics, the dome dominates the landscape and serves as a symbol of Islamic art and architecture. Beneath the dome lies the spacious prayer hall, capable of accommodating over 3,000 worshippers. The hall's octagonal design and lack of central pillars create a sense of openness and grandeur. #hiddengems

I stayed in Amman, the capital of Jordan. It takes about an hour to get to Amman from the border by land from Israel. I have the impression that all Jordanians are gentlemen, quiet, and extremely hospitable. They have good manners and are polite. In addition, prices are much cheaper than in Israel and the food is outstandingly delicious. You can enjoy touring old ruins, and there are also modern shopping malls, so I think Jordan is a good choice for beginners to Middle Eastern travel. #Jordan #Amman #Middle East travel #World Heritage Site #Touring Ruins

I stayed in Amman, the capital of Jordan. This time I stayed at the Marriott Amman for two nights. It's in the center of the city, and it's a very impressive hotel with a classical atmosphere. I got a free upgrade to a suite with my status. Of course, since it's a Marriott, there was a lounge, and it was available 24 hours a day. This is amazing. I also had dinner at the hotel restaurant, which I ordered for free during the cocktail hour service in the lounge. I highly recommend the Amman Marriott! #Jordan #Amman #Marriott #LuxuryHotel #MiddleEastTravel
