The Amman City Guides cover what visitors really want to know: where locals eat hummus at breakfast and kunafa at midnight, how to see the Citadel and the Roman Theatre without a pushy tout, which rooftops pour a drink after dark and how to fit Jerash, Madaba or the Dead Sea into a day. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, the area and a practical tip for every place, and it opens in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
Hashem Restaurant
Downtown, King Faisal Street
Amman’s round-the-clock canteen, where hummus, falafel, ful, bread and tea land on shared tables for very little and even royalty has stopped by to eat. Bring cash. From the budget guide.
Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts
Jabal al-Weibdeh
Modern art from Jordan, the wider Arab world, Asia and Africa, spread over two buildings with a sculpture garden in between. It is calm, and the café upstairs comes with a view. From the things to do guide.
Memorial Church of Moses
Mount Nebo, 10 minutes from Madaba
The summit where Moses is said to have looked out over the Promised Land. Byzantine mosaics fill the Franciscan church, and the terrace takes in the Jordan Valley and the Dead Sea. From the day trips guide.
Plan your days in Amman
Day one: climb to the Citadel in the morning, walk down to the Roman Theatre and the Hashemite Plaza, have lunch downtown and end the day on a rooftop or in a café on Rainbow Street. Day two: head out to Madaba and Mount Nebo, then finish with a float in the Dead Sea. For a rainy or slow day, spend the morning in the Jordan Museum, linger over tea at Darat al Funun and close with hot kunafa downtown.
