Amman is Jordan's capital and one of the oldest settlements in the Middle East, built across white-limestone hills. Here Roman ruins blend with modern cafes and markets, and the city is the perfect base for the legendary Petra and the Dead Sea. Let's see how to reach Amman from Tbilisi and what to see there.

🛂 Visa and entry rules
Georgian citizens need a visa for Jordan, but it's easy to get on arrival at the airport (visa on arrival). A single-entry visa costs about 40 Jordanian dinars (JOD).
The Jordan Pass is far better value — a single ticket that covers the visa fee and includes entry to Petra and other attractions. If you stay at least 3 nights in the country, the Jordan Pass saves you money.
Buy the Jordan Pass online before flying — it waives the visa fee only if you spend at least 3 nights in Jordan. Your passport must be valid for 6 months from the date of entry — see passport validity rules.
📅 The best season in Amman
- March-May: 18-28°C, mild spring weather — the best time
- September-November: a warm autumn, ideal for Petra and the desert
- June-August: 33°C+, dry heat — hard by day, but prices are lowest
- December-February: 5-14°C, cool and occasionally rainy; cold at night
🏛 Top attractions
- 🏛 Amman Citadel (Jabal al-Qal'a) — the Temple of Hercules and a panorama of the city from the hill
- 🎭 Roman Theatre — a superbly preserved 2nd-century amphitheatre seating 6,000
- 🕌 King Abdullah I Mosque — a blue-domed mosque open to visitors
- 🛍 Rainbow Street and Souk Jara — cafes, galleries and a crafts market
- 🏜 Petra — a day trip or overnight excursion from Amman (~3 h by car)
- 🌊 The Dead Sea — the lowest point on Earth, ~1 h from Amman
💶 Budget and conclusion
Amman is cheaper than Mediterranean European capitals, though it isn't cheap: a 3* hotel is $55-100/night; a meal at a local restaurant $10-18; taxis in the city are cheap, but use an app (Careem) for a fixed price.
3-4 days is enough for the city plus one day trip (Petra or the Dead Sea). Activate an eSIM the moment you land, and for exchanging cash see the currency exchange guide. To compare flights, use the Travel365 price calendar.
