Wear comfortable shoes, as the steps of the theater can be steep and uneven. The site is best visited in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid the midday heat. While there are no official guided tours at the theater, hiring a local guide or joining a city tour can provide more context about the history and significance of the site. Don’t forget your camera—whether it’s the view from the top or the detailed stonework up close, the theater offers plenty of great photo opportunities.

The Roman Theater is located in downtown Amman, making it easily accessible from most parts of the city. If you’re staying in the city center, it’s a short walk from major hotels and attractions like the Citadel. For those staying further out, taxis and ride-hailing services like Uber and Careem are affordable and convenient. Public buses also serve the downtown area, with stops near the theater. Parking is available nearby, but it can be limited, especially during weekends and holidays.

The Roman Theater can be visited year-round, but the best time is during the cooler months, from October to April, when the weather is pleasant for walking and climbing. If you’re visiting during summer, aim to go early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the midday heat. The theater occasionally hosts cultural events and performances, particularly during festivals, so checking the local calendar before your visit might offer a chance to experience the site as it was originally intended.

A visit to the Roman Theater can be part of a half-day or full-day tour of Amman’s key attractions. Start your day at the Amman Citadel, located on a nearby hill, where you can explore ancient ruins and enjoy panoramic views of the city. Then head down to the Roman Theater for a closer look at Roman architecture. Afterward, explore the bustling Souk Al-Sagha (Gold Souk) or enjoy lunch at a local restaurant serving traditional dishes like falafel, hummus, and mansaf. For a more cultural experience, pair your visit with a stop at the Duke’s Diwan, a historical house that offers insight into Jordan’s more recent history.
