Fly to Amman

On your flight to Amman from Sydney, 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 Abu Dhabi 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.

Fly from Sydney

Before you get on a flight to Amman from Sydney, be sure that you’ve soaked up all that Sydney has to offer. Sprawling Sydney is sandwiched between the sea and the Blue Mountains. The highlights are in the east and around the harbour, which slices the city into northern and southern halves.

Circular Quay is on the harbour at the northern end of the Central Business District (CBD). It's the main ferry hub and home to the Opera House plus many restaurants, souvenir shops and street entertainers.

Sydney is arguably the world's most photogenic city. Sydney Harbour is lined with attractions, islands, beaches and National Parkland - as well as the famous Opera House and Harbour Bridge. But beyond the harbour happy snaps, there's a remarkable amount to keep visitors occupied. Children and adults alike love the beaches and wildlife, as well as the outdoorsy lifestyle.



The Greater Sydney area boasts over 100 beaches, from calm harbour strips to surf-pounded coastal icons.

Sydney is a laid-back city that can turn on the sophistication when required with stylish bars and restaurants. At the same time, many of the highlights – such as coastal walks or splashing in the surf – are free.

Sydney is also party city. Dance all night in Kings Cross, go for an arty vibe in the Inner West or drink cocktails by the harbour. Mardi Gras and the New Year's Eve fireworks are the events that the world knows about, but there is always something going on. It's easy to be chilled out in Sydney, but almost impossible to be bored.
