Fly to London

On arrival on your flight to London from Amman, you will discover one of the most exciting and culturally rich cities in the world. You may be daunted by its size, but bear in mind that locals see London as a patchwork of small communities, some almost village-like in scale and atmosphere.

London city is bisected by the meandering River Thames, which is very pedestrian-friendly: the Thames Towpath allows you to explore the dynamic centre with its galleries, cinemas and theatres, as well as the greener western parts of the city - not forgetting the intriguing east, the prettiest part of which is historic Greenwich.

London is a shopper's paradise, with venerable department stores alongside funky boutiques. A rich mix of ethnicities ensures you can tuck into any type of cuisine. The city's green spaces are second to none, from royal parks to leafy canal walks.



Pretty, cobbled Covent Garden is at the geographical heart of London. The Piazza features street entertainment, cafés and bars, and the surrounding streets are great for alternative shopping opportunities.

Plan your itinerary carefully before setting off on flights to London from Amman as London's attractions are inexhaustible, whether you're a culture vulture, history buff, sports fan - or if you're trying to keep kids occupied. One of the greatest city pleasures is getting around, from a double-decker bus ride to a river trip.

Fly from Amman

On your flight to London from Amman, you will be leaving 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 London from Amman as there is a range of activities to keep you busy before leaving. 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.
