It is one of the remnants related to the old Roman Empire in the Middle East, and interestingly, it is in the middle of the pure oriental culture of the quite busy and congested downtown. GPS may mis… Full review by AMohsen

Built over 1,800 years and still in use today, the Roman Theatre in Amman is certainly worth seeking out. It stands out when you look down on it from The Citadel and it is all the more impressive wh… Full review by 857geoffh

A famous landmark in the Jordanian capital, Amman. For the best sunlight and views, it's best to go early in the morning! At the base of the stage, there’s a small "x"—if you stand on it and speak lo… Full review by nikhat_Shahin_Khan

Yes! There is an actual path down there. It's a LOT of stairs but easier than navigating the crazy streets. If you go to Open Street Maps and zoom in on the Citadel, just past the parking, you'll see a dotted red line to the theater. Those are the stairs. Basically, you walk from the Citadel, through the parking lot and keep right. You'll walk down a street and then see a set of steps between buildings. You just keep going down and you'll see the theater at various points. Crossing the street is a challenge, so look for other people crossing and go with them!

Saturday through Thursday the posted summer hours were 10am to sunset. Friday, the inside of the amphitheater did not open until 2.00pm. However, we were also there during Ramadan and the hours to open were very sporadic and it seemed liked they wanted to close the theater about 3.00pm to get home to prepare the evening meal. You can still walk around the outside (not the actual seats) and look through the gates at any time.
