Conseils locaux
Conseils d'initiés
Go up to the Citadel late in the afternoon: better light, and the whole city laid out below.
Walk downtown in the morning while the market is working. By evening it is a different, quieter place.
Coutumes et sécurité
Amman is at 776 metres: cool January days, common rain, snow that closes the city some years. Pack for it.
Downtown to the Citadel is a short distance and a long climb, and many streets are stepped.
Repas et prière
Islam is the state religion and halal is the norm; some restaurants and hotels serve alcohol, never as the default.
Mosques in every district, the call to prayer carrying across the valleys; prayer rooms at the airport and malls.

À propos de Amman
Amman is built over hills and the geography decides everything about moving around it. The old downtown is at the bottom of a valley; the districts are on the ridges above, and getting from one to another means going down and up rather than across.
Amman works as much as a base as a destination. Jerash is an hour north, the Dead Sea an hour west, and Petra three hours south, so two nights here can cover far more than the city itself.
