Nine thousand years of city
Before Amman was a modern capital it was Rabbath Ammon, then Roman Philadelphia — one of the ten Decapolis cities. Its hills still carry the theatre, the temple and the palace that each era left behind.
Roman PhiladelphiaCarved into the hillside in the 2nd century AD and seating around 6,000, it still hosts cultural events today. Two folklore and traditional-costume museums sit within its wings.

Yes. Amman is Jordan's hub and home to the main airport, and getting around works well by taxi or ride-hailing apps. Most core sights cluster around Downtown and Jabal Amman, so two or three of them fit comfortably into one day.
Two days cover the main landmarks, food and shopping at a relaxed pace. If you also want day trips outside the city, three to four days give you room without rushing.
The Roman Theatre; the Citadel with the Temple of Hercules and the Umayyad Palace; Rainbow Street in Jabal Amman; and the Downtown souks. Each shows a different face of the city — archaeological, social and everyday.
Spring and autumn are usually best — mild weather that suits walking between sites. Summer is hot by day and pleasant in the evening, while winter is cold and sometimes rainy, so lean towards indoor plans.
