Amman Roman Theater

Jordan did not stop surprising us from the first minute we got there. First, we visited Amman, its citadel and, of course, its Roman theatre. It's the largest theatre in the East and within its walls there is an interesting museum of costumes and customs that shouldn't be missed. All the perspectives are good. You can go up and down, again and again by its high steps. It's a must-see.

The Amman Roman Theater has a capacity for 7,000 people and is built into the side of one of the hills overlooking the city of Amman. It was supposedly built in the 2nd century BC (probably from 138-161) during the rule of Antonius Pius. You can climb the steps and enjoy an amazing view of the city from above. The citadel is located just across from the Roman theatre at the top of the hill.
