Pick Up from Amman

Your tour begins with a convenient pick-up from your location in Amman.

King Abdullah I Mosque

Our first stop is the King Abdullah I Mosque, capped by a magnificent blue mosaic dome. This mosque stands as a tribute to the founder of modern Jordan, King Abdullah Bin Al-Hussein. It's an architectural marvel and a place of peace and reflection.

Islamic Museum

Next, we visit the Islamic Museum, which is divided into two sections. One section showcases the manuscripts and personal items of the Martyr King Abdullah Bin Al-Hussein. The other section features artifacts from different eras of Islam in Jordan, including photos and models of archaeological sites. This museum offers a deep dive into the rich Islamic heritage of Jordan.

Ancient Citadel

We then proceed to the ancient citadel, perched on top of an L-shaped mountain. This site provides breathtaking views of the seven hills that surround Amman. The citadel is a testament to the city’s continuous habitation for the last 7,000 years. Highlights here include:

• Temple of Hercules: Built between 162 and 166 AD, this massive structure is larger than any temple in Rome.
• Byzantine Church: A basilica dating from the 5th to 6th centuries.
• Umayyad Mosque: The remains of the mosque from the Umayyad governor’s palace, dating from the 8th century.
• Dome of the Vestibule: A modern recreation of the interior of the Umayyad Vestibule’s dome.

Roman Amphitheatre

Visible from the citadel, we then visit the Roman Amphitheatre. This large and steeply raked theatre, which could seat approximately 6,000 people, was built into the hillside facing north to shield spectators from the sun.

Tomb of Abdul Rahman bin Auf Al-Zuhri

Our tour continues to Jubeiha, where we visit the tomb of Abdul Rahman bin Auf Al-Zuhri, one of the Ten Blessed Companions promised a place in heaven by Prophet Muhammad‎. He participated in all major battles of Islam and was a signatory to the Treaty of Hudaybiya.

Tomb of Bilal bin Rabah

We then visit the tomb of Bilal bin Rabah, a former slave who embraced Islam and became the Prophet’s personal muezzin due to his beautiful voice. Bilal is known for his bravery in the battles of Badr and Uhud.

Cave of the Seven Sleepers (Kahf Al-Raqim)

Our final stop is the Cave of the Seven Sleepers, mentioned in the Holy Qur’an.
