Discovering the Umayyad Palace at Jabal al Qal’a

#holidayitinerary The Umayyad Palace at Jabal al Qal’a is a fascinating glimpse into Jordan’s rich heritage. Perched on the citadel hill, the palace ruins immediately capture your imagination with their grand arches and stone walls that still stand proudly against the sky. Walking through the site, you can almost picture how impressive it must have looked in its prime. The restored domed audience hall is especially striking and offers a sense of the palace’s former elegance.

The atmosphere is calm and filled with history, making it easy to slow down and take in the details. Combined with the sweeping views of Amman below, the Umayyad Palace is both a cultural treasure and a peaceful spot to reflect on the city’s long past.
