Amman city tour: which one to choose in 2026 (prices, duration, what is included)
To visit Amman with a guide, three formulas exist: a walking tour of the centre (about 3 hours, with tastings), a private car tour (about 4 hours, citadel, Roman Theatre, downtown and a museum) or a day combined with Jerash (about 7 hours). Starting prices seen on GetYourGuide on 23 October 2026: about $50 to $81 per person for the best-rated walking tours, about $92 per group of three for a 4-hour private tour, about $64 to $75 for Amman and Jerash in one day; prices vary with date and group size.
Highlights
The citadel and the Temple of Hercules
The must-see of every city tour; see the citadel page for the ticket (3 JD, free with the Jordan Pass).
The Roman Theatre and the city centre
The theatre, the Al-Balad souks and the Al-Husseini Mosque; see the Al-Balad souks.
The tastings
The most popular walking tours include knafeh, falafel, hummus and coffee: choose one if you want to eat local.
Jerash as an option
The one-day formulas add the Roman city of Jerash, 50 km north; see the Jerash page.

Tips
- Before booking, compare four points: the real duration, the number of people (private or small group), whether entrance tickets (citadel, theatre) are included, and the starting point or hotel pick-up. A walking tour is a good way to understand the centre and taste without getting lost; a car tour suits families, visitors with reduced mobility and anyone who wants to see more districts in less time. With the Jordan Pass, the citadel and the Roman Theatre are free, so a tour with no tickets included is better value. If you are short of time, Amman in one day gives a route to do on your own. For the rest of the trip, see Petra from Amman and Jerash and Ajloun.
How to get there
Private tours pick you up at your hotel in Amman; walking tours usually meet in the centre or in Jabal Amman, to be confirmed on the booking sheet.
