Introduction

This is the former capital of the Abbasid Amman Kingdom, with a history dating back to the 11th century BC. The remaining Umayyad palace was built in 720 AD, and one of its dome halls is particularly impressive, providing a sense of history. The reservoir on the castle hill, the Byzantine church, and the tall columns of the Hercules Palace are also worth seeing, and more knowledge can be learned through introductory signs. You can also take some beautiful photos in the evening. In addition, the Jordan National Archaeological Museum is also a must-visit place, showcasing numerous cultural relics from across Jordan.
