📸Top activities & landmarks
- The Citadel at sunset and the Roman theatre
- Downtown: the gold souq and Habibah sweets
- Rainbow Street and Weibdeh

🏨Where to stay
Abdali and Shmeisani are modern and easy; near Rainbow Street for atmosphere (stairs included).
⚠️Tips & warnings
The city is endless hills and stairs — good shoes, and Uber/Careem between jabals. Petra deserves a Wadi Musa overnight, not an exhausting 4-hour-each-way day trip from Amman.
