Discover Amman

Experiences

Amman is a city built on seven hills and several thousand years. On the highest of them stands the Citadel, where a Roman temple, a Byzantine church and an Umayyad palace share a single windswept plateau. Below it, a second-century theater still fills with sound. Between the two, a modern capital hums with galleries, coffee houses and streets that stay awake long after dark. The Ritz-Carlton, Amman sits at Fifth Circle, minutes from the cultural heart of the city and within easy reach of the wonders beyond it. Our concierge team is dedicated to shaping your days around our vibrant city.

Ancient Amman

The Citadel

Rising above the city on" Jabal Al Qal'a", the Citadel is one of the oldest continuously inhabited places on earth. Layers of civilisation sit side by side here: the towering columns of the Temple of Hercules, the domed Umayyad Palace, and the remains of a Byzantine church. The Jordan Archaeological Museum, on the same plateau, holds artefacts spanning the Neolithic to the Islamic era.

Ancient Amman

The Roman Theatre

Cut into the hillside in the second century and still in use today, the Roman Theater seats six thousand people across steep tiers of stone. Its acoustics remain so precise that a word spoken at the centre of the orchestra carries clearly to the highest row. During the summer, it hosts concerts and festivals, and there are few finer places in the city to spend an evening.

Ritz Kids: For our Young Explorers

Ritz Kids invites our youngest guests to explore the world with curiosity and care, and Amman is unusually generous to children. The Children's Museum Jordan, beside King Hussein Park, is built entirely around hands-on discovery.  At the hotel, families can request a Ritz Kids welcome on arrival, and our concierge is glad to shape a day that keeps everyone happy, parents included.

What to Pack

Business Travel

Amman's business culture is polished and relationship-led, and dress follows suit. Dark suits for men, a crisp shirt, a tie for meetings that matter. For women, tailored suits or conservative dresses with elegant accessories. Jackets stay on, even through summer. Fifth Circle sits close to the embassy and corporate district, so most days begin with a short drive.

Leisure Travel

The city is built on hills and best seen on foot, so comfortable shoes matter more here than almost anywhere. Amman sits high, and evenings turn cool even in summer, so carry a light layer. Winters are often cold. Dress is relaxed, though modest dress is required at religious sites, where shoulders and knees should be covered. A scarf is useful for both.

Adventures

Petra and Wadi Rum ask for closed shoes, sun protection and more water than you think. Desert nights turn cold quickly, so pack a warm layer even in high summer. At the Dead Sea, bring a swimsuit you do not mind retiring and leave the jewellery behind. And do not shave the morning of. The salt will remind you.

Within The City

Rainbow Street

The most walkable street in Amman, running along the ridge of Jabal Amman. Independent cafés, bookshops, rooftop terraces and vintage boutiques line the route, and the view over the old city from the top is the one that ends up on every camera roll. Come on a Friday for Souk Jara, the open-air market of Jordanian crafts, food and music that fills the street through the summer.

Lifestyle
Within The City

Downtown Amman

Al Balad is the city at its most unfiltered. Gold souks and spice merchants, the vast Grand Husseini Mosque, fruit stalls stacked to the awnings, and the smell of knafeh drifting from Habibah, a Jordanian institution since 1951. It is a place best seen slowly and on foot. Our concierge can arrange a guided walk through its lanes, or simply point you toward the very best of them.

Lifestyle
Wellness & Relaxation
A Sanctuary Above the City

The Ritz-Carlton Spa is a quiet retreat above the city, offering a variety of treatments drawn from the natural world, a heated indoor pool, steam and sauna rooms. Each treatment is shaped around what your day has asked of you, from natural Dead Sea treatments to Thai massages. Our therapists will guide you toward the right one. However you choose to spend your time in Jordan, we would encourage you to spend a little of it here.
