Amman
My trip to Amman, the capital of Jordan, in February 2019.
Amman is bustling, loud and hilly - which makes it quite tiring on foot - with lots of small alleys and stairways, crammed streets, green courtyards and graffiti (more on that below).
Historic sites and ruins right in the city center, next to small cafés, souks, art galleries, bookshops, workshops and restaurants, shape the cityscape.
The “Roman Theater” and the “Amman Citadel” are well worth a visit if you’re at least a little interested in history. Daraj al Kalha is a small alley in the center with lots of graffiti and little cafés to linger in.
Tip: A free “Amman walking tour” starts daily at 11:00 at the Amman Pasha Hotel.
In Amman there is colorful and impressive street art graffiti on every corner - unfortunately I only photographed a very few of them:
