Amman Sightseeing
Sightseeing Overview
Most of the remains of the Roman city of Philadelphia can be seen from the Citadel and it's a short walk downhill to visit the remains of The Forum, Nymphaeum and Roman Theatre. The Museum of Popular Tradition and the Jordanian Folklore Museum are located on either side of the theatre stage.
Also worth visiting are the Royal Automobile Museum, which contains most of the vehicles owned by the late King Hussein, and the Hejaz Railway Station with its excellent museum and collection of working steam locomotives.
