What To Expect
Grand Husseini Mosque
One of the oldest mosques in Amman, rebuilt by King Abdullah I in 1932 on the site of the one built by the second Caliph, Omar Bin Al-Khattab around 640 AD. Tourists may be able to enter if dressed appropriately. Close to this mosque are two famous souqs: Souq Bukharia (good for getting souvenirs) and Souq Al-Sukar (fruit, vegetables, nuts and spices.)
Duke of Mukhyber's Residence
This historic townhouse, built in 1924, has served as a post office (Amman's first), the Ministry of Finance and a hotel. Today, it has been restored with period furnishings by a prominent Jordanian businessman, who is also the duke of the village of Mukhaybeh. The collection of old photos of Amman provide an interesting glimpse of a bygone age. It's all quite underplayed, but rather charming nonetheless.

5.00Amazing walking tour ! I highly recommend this tour, without a doubt, to anyone travelling to Amman. It is a great way to get to know the city, the country and the local culture. Our guide was very knowledgeable, answered all our questions and even changed his plan to add stops depending on our interests (ex: visiting a Mosque). He took his time with us, stopping to sample foods on the way. He was more than generous with his time and knowledge.

4.00Interesting tour through the market areas. They did not go to any sites. We had less options due to Ramadan, but still got to try a few things. Biggest issue was guide spoke very fast, and was often hard to understand
Amazing experience in Amman!

Felt like a family member was our tour guide

5.00Our guide was absolutely amazing. It was like visiting a cousin. He took us through the city like we were truly family. I learned so much about Jordan past and present on the tour. I really wished he was our guide during our entire stay. On this tour I was with my brother but, I often travel alone and would have felt totally safe with our guide. He really felt like my Jordanian cousin. We told him if he ever comes to the United States we would be happy to be his guides

5.00Very interesting tour with plenty of opportunity to try some bites and learn about Jordan and Amman. My guide was Orwah who was not only a lovely person in general but knew a lot about Amman and its history as well as about Jordan and the many traditions. This is the perfect start to get your bearings a bit before diving head first into exploring on your own.
