Best Tours & activities in Amman (2026)

A guided experience is one of the best ways to get under the skin of Amman, especially on a short visit. Food is the obvious place to start. Beit Sitti, in Jabal al-Weibdeh, invites guests to cook a seasonal Arabic meal with local hajjehs and then share it at the table, while Amman Food Tours runs small-group and private walking tours through Downtown's markets and street-food stalls, led by local women.

For history and local life, Baraka Destinations launched a four-hour storytelling walk in 2026 that runs from Jabal Amman down to the Roman Theatre, and it also offers community-run trips to Umm Qais in the north. Outdoor enthusiasts can turn to Terhaal, an adventure specialist based in Jabal al-Weibdeh, for canyoning, hiking and cycling, from the Wadi Mujib Siq Trail to multi-day trips to Petra and Wadi Rum. For private day tours to Jerash, Madaba, Mount Nebo or the Dead Sea, and for tailor-made itineraries across the country, Jordan Select Tours has worked from its Abdoun office since the 1990s. Book well ahead in spring and autumn, confirm what is included, such as transport, entrance fees and meals, and check whether the Jordan Pass would cover the sites on your itinerary.
