Fly to Amman

On your flight to Amman from Dubai, you will be arriving at one of the most sophisticated cities in the Middle East. Amman is one of the world's oldest historic sites, but one of its newest capital cities, attracting business travellers, students and tourists alike.

Amman has emerged as one of the region's major cultural and gourmet destinations, and makes an ideal base for exploring the rest of the country.
Clinging to several steep hillsides, Amman is well situated between the arid desert and the fertile Jordan Valley.

Plan your itinerary carefully before setting off on flights to Amman from Dubai as there is a range of activities to keep you busy.

Amman is a city of museums, galleries and cultural centres. It is also a destination of choice for gourmands, with its range of Jordanian and international restaurants, while shopaholics will find plenty to keep them entertained in the capital's trendy boutiques, street markets and luxury malls.



Downtown (al-Balad) is the beating heart of Amman, and its most historic quarter. The Greek city of Philadelphia lies beneath its streets, and you can still see the Roman Forum and Theatre here.

West Amman is the capital's most prosperous area, with most the city's parks, boulevards, villas and luxury hotels. Jebel Amman is its cultural hub, home to turn-of-the century villas and independent boutiques.

Jebel al-Qal'a (Citadel Hill) dominates central Amman, and is a must-see for visitors with its eighth-century Umayyad Palace complex, and the massive Temple of Hercules, as well as Jordan's National Archaeological Museum.
