Useful tips

If travelers have more time, they should consider visiting Jerash, which is a 30-minute drive from the Amman Citadel. This city is home to the remains of Ancient Roman architecture. If travelers have less time, we recommend visiting Petra and Wadi Rum. If the Dead Sea is not suitable for any reason, there is a spa using the same minerals and salts in Ma'in, which is about 1 hour 30 minutes (100 km) by car from Amman.
