Spacious Luxury Apartment

MuntherRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I stayed in this apartment for 5 days and had a great experience. The place was very clean, easy to access, and located in a quiet neighborhood that was still close to everything—shops, restaurants, and public transport. It was exactly what I needed for a comfortable and convenient stay. Would definitely recommend

Khirfan Penthouse- amazing valley view, (B)

Lewis MatthewRating, 5 stars23 months ago
The flat is fantastic and very high quality compared to others available in Amman. It is a historic building that has been remodeled to modern standards. The balcony is lovely and the perfect way to start the day listening to the sounds of Amman. Very clean too. The neighbourhood is safe as well (everywhere felt safe in Amman). Jamal is extremely friendly and helpful with top notch recommendations. He also kindly organised reliable and cost effective airport transfers. We hope to be back in Amman in the future and to stay here again.

Lovely 2-Bedroom rooftop vacation home

KristinRating, 5 stars7 months ago
Muna and hear brother have been wonderful and attentive hosts. The communication was without flaws. Her brother welcomed me and explained me everything, even so I arrived late in the evening. The Appartement ist very cute, with a beautiful terrace with a very comfy Swing-Couch and a good view, and everything I could need during my stay. It lays in a calm and safe neighbourhood near university and only 10 min walk to shops. Just the traffic might be a bit loud (but this is in whole Amman). The bus downtown is a 15 min walk. So everything is in reach. For me, it was the perfect Appartement to study Arabic for two weeks and I would come back any time! Thanks to Muna and her brother for their hospitality!

Nammos Experience Breeze

NouraRating, 5 stars8 months ago
Our stay at the Sanad’s place was nothing short of fantastic. We were greeted by a lovely and helpful guard who was very responsive all through our stay. The pool, living room, rooms and bathrooms were squeaky clean and everything was on point and exactly as described. Sanad is a great host and I highly recommend his place for your next getaway at the Dead Sea.

Your guide to Amman

All About Amman

Located in northwestern Jordan near the Israeli border, the capital city of Amman sits on the hills between the desert and the fertile Jordan Valley. Amman is a city full of contrasts, with modern skyscrapers and trendy art galleries mixing with ruins dating back thousands of years, including a restored Roman theater and the Citadel, a historical site that’s been occupied since the Bronze Age. From high above the city on Citadel Hill, you can look out over a maze of souks and markets mingling with gleaming shopping malls and high-rise office buildings. On street level, you’ll find upscale restaurants rubbing elbows with traditional coffee shops and rug dealers.

Amman also makes an excellent base for exploring places in northern Jordan. Just outside of the city, a string of ancient desert castles known as the Desert Castle Loop makes for a fascinating day trip. The most famous of these castles are the seventh-century Al-Mshatta Castle and the Al-Harrana Castle.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Amman

Due to its high elevation, Amman is a little cooler than other cities in the region, making it a great place to visit any time of the year. During the summer, you will have the hottest weather, which may not be ideal if you want to explore the valleys, but it is pleasant if you are just planning on staying in Amman. Spring and summer experience moderate weather that is perfect for hiking. Winter can get a bit chilly, but this is a great time to visit nearby hotspots like Petra without the crowds. And if you’re securing your vacation apartments for rent in Amman during the holy month of Ramadan, know that many businesses and restaurants may have limited operating hours throughout the day.


Top things to do in Amman

Citadel

Perched high up on a hill in the center of Amman, the Citadel features ruins dating as far back as the Bronze Age. Highlights include the Temple of Hercules, a Roman temple built 2,000 years ago, along with the stone hands of what must have once been a towering sculpture of Hercules that historians believe stood almost 40-feet tall. While here, be sure to visit the Jordan Archeological Museum, which helps give context to the remains of the structures found there.

Qasr Al-Mshatta

Just outside of Amman, you’ll find a wide array of well-preserved desert castles and caravansaries. One of the most impressive is the Qasr Al-Mshatta Winter Palace, located around 20 miles outside Amman near the airport. It was built in 744 A.D. by the Umayyad Caliph and is surrounded by a defense wall complete with 25 towers. Although much of the facade is now gone, you can still get an idea of the palace’s grandeur and take in early examples of Islamic art and architecture.

Roman Theater

Just 20 minutes from the Citadel by foot, the restored Roman theater was built more than 2,000 years ago, and was once able to accommodate nearly 6,000 people on its steep stone stairs. It was also the place to be and be seen during the Roman era. Concerts and plays are still held here during the summer, which is a great way to see the theater as it was originally intended.
