Al-Balad’s rich history offers numerous historical, heritage, and archaeological sites such as the Amman Citadel, the Roman Amphitheatre, the Roman Nymphaeum, the Umayyad Monumental Gateway, and the Temple of Hercules, all of which you will have the opportunity to visit and explore during the tour.

The Odeon: Adjacent to the main theatre is a smaller, 500-seat Roman venue known as the Odeon, which was used for musical performances.

Museums: The rooms behind the stage house two small museums: the Jordan Museum of Popular Traditions and the Jordan Folklore Museum. They showcase artifacts, traditional costumes, and items from Jordanian and Palestinian culture.

Live Events: The theatre is not just a relic of the past; it is an active cultural venue. It hosts concerts, festivals (like the annual Al-Balad Music Festival), and other performances, bringing the ancient space to life.

• The Citadel - Visit Amman’s Citadel, a historical site located on the highest hill in Amman, which has been occupied since the Bronze Age. It is encircled by a 1700-meter-long wall that has been rebuilt several times during both the Bronze and Iron Ages. There is much to see; however, the most notable sights are the Umayyad Palace and the iconic Temple of Hercules.
