We added a couple of optional activities beyond Rainbow Street and don't regret it. Good value for what was included, and the food recommendations from our guide were spot on.

Our trip to Amman was fantastic from start to finish. The hotel was clean and well located, and the guided visit to Amman Citadel was a real highlight. Airport transfers were on time both ways.

Downtown Amman souqs alone was worth the trip, but combined with Dead Sea float and mud spa this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.

Booked this as a solo trip and it was well paced. King Abdullah I Mosque in particular stood out. A couple of the transfers ran a little late but nothing that spoiled the trip.
