The modern capital of Jordan is known for its spectacular Ancient Roman ruins, the busy mosques and its coffeehouses. Make your way into the capital with your car rental to see the historic Amman Citadel and the Roman Theater. Take advantage of having your own vehicle to go to other top attractions around Jordan. For instance, get panoramic views from Mount Nebo, just south of Amman, or explore the ancient rock-cut city of Petra, The Treasury and the unique narrow walkway of al-Siq in the southwest of Jordan if you have enough time.
