The capital of Jordan is a thoroughly modern city, but its history goes back a long way. There are numerous ancient ruins scattered across the landscape, such as the Roman citadel with its temple to Hercules, and the Umayyad Palace, which dates from the 8th century and events are frequently staged in the Roman-era amphitheatre. You can see many artefacts from all periods of the city’s history in the Jordan Museum, and the Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts has collections of contemporary Jordanian pottery and paintings.
Arriving in Amman
Capital of the ancient Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Amman is an extraordinary juxtaposition of traditional and modern. Vibrant, energetic and with a distinctly cosmopolitan air, it’s one of the most progressive cities in the region.
Book a flight to Amman with Qatar Airways and you’ll quickly discover just how exciting this progressive destination can be.
Amman has chosen to embrace the 21st century, and while it is packed with ancient temples, ruins and beautiful mosques, it is also a city that focuses on art and literature. However, Amman also has its traditional side, and celebrates its history and culture in museums and beautifully preserved monuments.
Tourist attractions
The Citadel is located on Amman’s highest hill, Jebel al-Qala’a and is the location of the modern city’s predcessor, Rabbath-Ammon. It is surrounded by a beautifully preserved wall, but its most striking features are the Temple of Hercules and the Ummayad Palace.
To get a better understanding of the history of Amman, visit the Jordan museum located next to City Hall. This internationally renowned museum is packed full of artefacts from as far back as the Bronze age, and helps visitors understand the context of many of the city’s monuments and ruins such as the Roman amphitheatre.
King Abdullah’s mosque is a must-see for its stunning blue dome and its Islamic museum, while Darat al Funun or 'small house of the arts' in Jabal el Weibdeh is an intimate art gallery that demonstrates the city’s love of culture and beauty.
Travel Considerations

Flying from Guangzhou, China
Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport is one of China’s busiest air transport hubs and is the country’s third largest airport. Just 27 kilometres north of the city, it is also one of China’s most modern airports, opened in 2004. Passengers travelling from Guangzhou with Qatar Airways will discover a bright, incredibly efficient and ultra-modern starting point to their journey, where staff go out of their way to make your journey as comfortable as possible.
Transportation and parking
Travel in China is incredibly well organised, and Guangzhou is no different. If you are driving then the airport is served directly by its own Airport Expressway, which avoids many of the usual traffic jams in the centre of the city. A metro service goes straight to the station and you’ll also find five Airport Express and six Airport non-stop bus services between the city and the airport, calling at major hotels, plazas and train stations. Taxis are plentiful and can be arranged by your hotel concierge, or pre-booked. The airport has both indoor and outdoor parking, which is relatively close to the terminals.
Arriving at the airport
Passengers flying from Guangzhou with Qatar Airways depart from the International Departures hall. There are four check-in islands and 102 check-in counters, and the process is very quick and efficient, as long as all your documentation is in order. Islands F and J are the most likely locations for Qatar Airways flight check-ins, but do consult the information boards to be sure. Allow approximately two hours to clear customs and check-in.
