Book Amman hotels

Oh man, you’re going to Amman! What is this city we speak of? It’s the capital of Jordan, and we promise not to make any more puns about it.

How come we think it’s a good idea for you to take a trip there? Because it has museums featuring stuff from before the Common Era and ancient ruins next to modern skyscrapers. It’s a study in contrasts, as your Mum used to say.

But really. Browse lastminute.co.nz’s amazing offers on holiday packages to Amman and experience it all tomorrow.

Things to Do in Amman

Once you get settled at one of the hotels in Amman, make your way to the Jordan Archaeological Museum in the Amman Citadel. Some of the artefacts in the collection include the Ain Ghazal statues, which are supposedly the oldest ever made by humans. We don’t know who exactly determined that—someone more scientific than us—but that’s what they say, so we’re sticking to it.

Afterward, head outside and roam around the ruins of the Roman Temple of Hercules. Can you imagine Hercules today in an arm-wrestling competition?

Getting to and Around Amman

Your trek to the Middle East will begin when your flight lands at Queen Alia International Airport (AMM), 30km from the city centre. You can head outside and get and airport taxi or bus that will take you to and from any of the Amman hotels.

If you feel like exploring the desert on your own, reserve a set of wheels from one of lastminute.co.nz’s Amman car hire options and leave the camels in the dust.
