Downtown Amman is home to a few ancient ruin sites one of which is the Citadel, a collection of stunning pillars, a mosque, and a palace. The ruins include stunning pillars, a mosque, and a palace. The ruins present a maze-like journey because even though the palace walls have worn down to a height only slightly higher than my own, the architecture is complicated and fun to navigate. Perhaps the most beautiful aspect of this tourism site is the view. Although downtown Amman is often bustling, at the Citadel you feel removed from the crowded sidewalks. Surveying Amman's skyline gives one a feeling of transcendence. Amman is small but it seems to go on forever; and the apartment walls and hotel signs are overshadowed in this creme-colored land underneath pale blue sky. I have never seen the sun shine quite the way it does here.
