Amman, often referred to as the White City of Jordan, is a captivating capital where limestone architecture, rich cultural history, and modern energy intersect. With its cascading white buildings covering the hills, Amman offers a one-of-a-kind visual and cultural experience unlike any other city in the Middle East. At Jordan Private Tours, we invite you to explore this luminous city with a guided journey tailored to your interests.
The nickname "White City" comes from the city’s signature use of white limestone in both modern and ancient architecture. From hillside homes to ancient Roman ruins and bustling souks, this light-colored stone reflects the sun beautifully and gives the city a glowing, timeless character. Amman’s unique aesthetic is not just beautiful—it’s part of its identity.
With our curated Amman city tours, you’ll discover the best the White City has to offer, including:
Home to the Temple of Hercules, the Umayyad Palace, and sweeping views of the city’s limestone buildings, this site embodies Amman's ancient soul.
