Middle Eastern Adventure | Amman, a Walk Through Time

|Amman, a Walk Through Time Amman, a Middle Eastern city that blends the ancient and the modern, is like an open history book, with stories written on every page. 📍 Citadel Hill: The Beginning of History My first stop in Amman was Citadel Hill. This is the highest point in Amman, and from the top of the hill, you can see the entire city. The ancient Roman theater ruins stand quietly, and although they have been weathered by time, you can still see the grandeur of the past. Touching those ancient stones, it seems as if you can hear the cheers and applause from thousands of years ago. Inside the citadel, there are also the ruins of a Byzantine church, with exquisite mosaic puzzles telling the story of the past prosperity, and the weight of history is overwhelming. 🍲 Food in the City: A Feast for the Taste Buds After coming down from Citadel Hill, my stomach was already growling, so I went to the city to taste the local cuisine. I walked into a small restaurant and ordered a traditional mansaf, with tender lamb and rich yogurt sauce, served on fluffy rice and sprinkled with crispy fried nuts. The perfect blend of meat, milk, and rice instantly conquered my taste buds. There are also shawarma stalls everywhere, with chicken or beef rotating on the grill, the aroma wafting through the air, sandwiched in bread with vegetables and sauces, and eaten on the go, super satisfying! 🎨 Rainbow Street: An Artistic Palette After eating and drinking, I strolled along Rainbow Street. This is the most artistic place in Amman, with colorful buildings on both sides of the street, full of artistic atmosphere. There are a variety of specialty shops, selling exquisite handicrafts and creative galleries. I found a hand-woven carpet in a small shop, with unique patterns and delicate textures that I couldn't put down. The aroma of coffee wafted from the cafes on the street, and I found a window seat to sit down, watching the people coming and going outside the window, feeling the leisure and comfort of the city. 🏛️ Jerash: A Journey Through Time On my last day in Amman, I went to Jerash. This well-preserved Roman city is like a living fossil of history. The wide Roman avenue, the magnificent Hadrian's Arch, the spectacular open-air theater... every ruin is breathtaking. Walking through the streets of the ancient city, it was as if I had traveled back to the Roman era, imagining the bustling scene of the past. Amman is a city with both the sediment of ancient civilization and the vitality of a modern metropolis. Here, you can touch the traces of history and enjoy the convenience of modern life. If you are also looking for a trip full of surprises, come to Amman, and you will be attracted by its unique charm!
