Being the site of the ancient capital, Rabbath-Ammon, Citadel Hill is one of the major tourist attractions in the city. Archaeologists uncovered relics and ancient artefacts from the site, which are now under the care of the Jordan Archaeological Museum, located at the Hill itself. Among these antiquities are some that date back to as early as the Stone Age, while others take the form of the remains of ancient structures, like the Umayyad Palace (al-Qasr), a Byzantine basilica and the Great Temple of Amman. A copy of the Mesha Stele and Iron Age sarcophagi are just two of the historical treasures kept by the museum.
Taxis and buses are the common means of transport in the city. Taxis charge reasonable fares, based on the meter and taxi drivers are helpful in guiding tourists as they navigate the city. From the airport, you can also take a Regular Airport Express bus, which runs from the arrival terminals to Abdali Station.
