Amman - What to See in the White Capital

Amman - What to See in the White Capital, Amman, Jordan (B)

Amman is a perfect gateway to the most famous treasures of Jordan - Petra (one of the seven wonders of the ancient world), Dead Sea, Biblical Holy Land - Mount Nebo where Moses died and was buried, Jerash (the best preserved Ancient Roman City - forget Rome!) and Wadi Rum Desert. It is often treated only as a gateway - a place where you transfer to see something else. Underrated and a bit overlooked, Amman may be not the most charming city in the world but it boasts rich history, great architecture and ancient monuments that are still in use today. Although it's skipped by many visitors, it's interesting to see the capital of such a magnificent land as Jordan.

I visited quite a few countries in the Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia and they were all perfectly safe. Jordan is not an exception. Amman, the capital is very safe for tourists as well as the whole country. The biggest concern for visitors is the critical situation in neighboring Syria. However, Jordan is protected very well, especially around the areas close to the border. There is nothing to be afraid of and you can safely travel to Jordan. ......
