The last day of  this short trip – covering Amman, Jordan’s capital, home to around 2.5 million people.

We took a taxi to make the 16km from our hotel to the citadel on a hill in the old part of town. After the ruins of Jerash the day before, the ruins here did not really have an effect on us, though there were some good views of Amman. From the citadel we walked downhill to see the Roman theater and Al-Husseiny Mosque, followed by a walk through the market district.
