	Jabal al-Qal'a, Amman Review of The Citadel, Amman by hiker Advantages: Thousands of years of history beneath your feet Disadvantages: Quite a bit of it probably still is buried Usually translated as "the Citadel", the Jabal al-Qal'a is more than a fortress. Indeed, it's unclear that it ever was a fortress in the true sense of the word. It is much more of an ancient walled town. That's not to say it isn't a place of refuge or ...

	Islam Made Easy Review of King Abdullah Mosque, Amman by hiker Advantages: It's a mosque - it's beautiful and you might learn something Disadvantages: You might not. To put this review in context, let me say that it comes from a purely "tourist" point of view. Nothing that follows is intended to be in any way disrespectful. People can be sensitive to issues of religion and the treating of places of worship as touri ...

	Better Than The Average Ibis Review of Ibis Amman, Amman by hiker Advantages: Decent rooms, good-enough food, friendly service Disadvantages: You are in hotel-chain-land. The flight time had been changed and then it was delayed at Heathrow because of those inexplicable folk who somehow fail to make the flight even though their luggage does… so we have to sit on the tarmac for another hour while their bags are found and ...

	Chilled out capital! Review of Amman (Jordan) by dangaroo Advantages: The charm perhaps lies in its slight blandness Disadvantages: Not as much to do as Damascus or Cairo! I arrived in Amman on a JET bus from Jordan's second city Irbid in the north. I was in my element, enjoying that "just crossed a border, in a new country" feel. The journey over from Galilee in Israel had been remarkably easy but in my true style, I manag ...

	Not overwhelmed by Amman Review of Amman (Jordan) by Katieshaz Advantages: Cheap, cultural Disadvantages: Boring, dusty, leering men, lack of pavements I was in Amman for some time with my job and I found it an interesting but also a very strange place!

	Is this really a 4 Star hotel? Review of Safir Imperial Palace, Amman by Katieshaz Advantages: Cheap Disadvantages: Unhelpful staff, the food, I stayed here whilst on an airline training course. Luckily I wasn't paying for it! About the hotel: Apparently it's a four star but I'd personally give it three stars. The website boasts of the luxury and how it's located in a prime part of Jordan.

	once called Philadelphia Review of Amman (Jordan) by traveller55 Advantages: I really don't know Disadvantages: I really don't know Amman is the city capital of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Its origins are dated back to the Neolithic age (about 6500 BC) as proved by the archaeological finds in the area. Amman, like Rome, lays on seven hills that here are called "Jabal". Amma ...

	One drag or two with your morning coffee? Review of InterContinental Jordan, Amman by Vodkaboy Advantages: Nice rooms, easy to work, good dining in summer Disadvantages: Lobby drab, smokey breakfast area I have stayed here several times, the first in early 2001, then four or five times in 2003.

	Not deserving of a Queen's name. Review of Amman Airport - Queen Alia International by Vodkaboy Advantages: You get out eventually. Disadvantages: Uncaring, disorganised, senseless There is an old story about someone who had a ship named after them. When they went on the ship they thought it was so crap, so terrible, that they changed their name. It could be a really old story, except that I made it up a few days ago. But one day ...

	A clean and pleasant City Review of Amman (Jordan) by Inferno Advantages: A good capital but I didn't find it very interesting Disadvantages: Nothing much to do. I went to Jordan for my family holiday and we went and stayed with some of our friends. I liked it a lot because I had so much fun. However there wasn't a lot to do because there the city didn't offer a lot. There weren't many things to do but if I sta ...
