Where to walk in Jordan
- Amman (3 tours): Jordan's hilltop capital, layered from a Bronze Age citadel down through a Roman theatre to a lively downtown of stairs, souks, and cafés. Read the Citadel with its Temple of Hercules and Umayyad palace, the Roman theatre and the downtown Al-Balad below it, and the villa-lined heritage streets of Jabal Amman and Rainbow Street. Best taken slowly, at your own pace.
- Jerash (2 tours): One of the best-preserved Roman provincial cities anywhere, a Decapolis town of colonnaded avenues north of Amman. Read Hadrian's Arch and the hippodrome, the oval plaza and the long cardo, the temples of Zeus and Artemis, and the theatres that still carry a voice. Best taken slowly, at your own pace.
- Petra (2 tours): The rose-red Nabataean capital carved into desert sandstone, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Read the winding Siq that opens on the Treasury, the Street of Facades and the royal tombs, the colonnaded street and great temples, and the long stair-climb to the Monastery high above. A vast site best taken slowly, at your own pace.
