We arrive in Amman on a late flight and get our transfer from the Airport to our hotel, right in the centre of town. Tomorrow we explore Amman by foot. Amman is an overcrowded town. If you don't know the town you can lose yourself because there are so many cars and un-named streets that it's almost impossible to understand where you are. Lucky for us we were able to find the Roman theatre with out to much trouble. All this (of course) is before we climb a lot of steep stairs to reach the Citadel. The Citadel is what I would call the heart of the town. From the top these Roman and Ammonites ruins make for the perfect spot to see the wonderful landscape over the hills of the city.
After all this walking its time to find some where to have some lunch and get out of the heat. We find a no-frills place, Hashem Restaurant it turns out its very popular eatery by the locals for its excellent felafel's. The basic local restaurant is tucked in an alley of a main street in downtown Amman, with most of its tables scattered around the alley. All delicious and extremely cheap. 
Now that we have cooled down and got our energy from lunch we head off walking again this time we head up the hill to King Abdullah I Mosque. This mosque located in El-Abdali district was completed in 1990 as a memorial to the late King Hussein's Grandfather. The beautiful and instantly recognizable Blue Dome Mosque and is defiantly worth a quick look inside. As a women I was asked to wear an Abaya (gown) and cover by hair. Looking good hey!. Its back to the hotel via the busy Rainbow Street for a refreshing drink.
