Cheap Flights to Amman
Cheap Flights to Amman compared for the best deal to anywhere in the world
Amman is the capital of Jordan. The history of the area can be traced back several thousand years. As with many parts of the middle-east Amman has had many different rules over the centuries including the Romans and the Byzantine Christians.
The current rulers have only be there since 1921 when the area was carved up by the British and French after the Ottoman Turks were defeated in World War I.
Due to the more liberal attitudes of King Hussein and his son, the current king, Abdullah, who were both educated in the West, Amman is one of the most liberal and westernised cities in the Arab world, but there are still many restrictions, such as press freedom.
Culturally Amman is three-quarters Muslim and one quarter Christian with many Palestinians among its number who have arrived from conflicts with Jordan’s neighbour to the West, Israel. Jews, however, are absent because they are not permitted to become citizens of Jordan.
Your cheap Amman flights will take you to a city which is positioning itself as an international centre of commerce and its rising skyline is testament to its aspirations.
Most tourists head for the old heart of Amman and the colourful souks (or markets) which give you an impression of old-world charm.
Several Roman antiquities remain including a theatre, a forum and various temples to Roman deities including Hercules.
If it’s religious architecture you are interested in Amman will not disappoint with its fine mosques. Most recent is the Abdullah I built in the 1980’s. Overlooking Amman is the Abu Darweesh mosque with its unique black and white chequerboard roof.
Eating out is now far more international than before with restaurants to cater for Western pallets.
If you are fed up with haggling in the souk then you can find modern malls in the downtown area which would grace any western city.
Some have called Amman the new Beirut and it’s certainly rivalling that city as a cultural, business and tourist hub both for westerners and Arab visitors. This is especially true for visitors from Saudi Arabia and the Emirates who find the climate milder and the regime more relaxed.
