Amman's Roman Heritage, Madaba's Mosaic Treasures, Culinary Delights in Petra
Greet the morning at Hashems, an Amman institution since 1956 with a regular patronage from Jordanian royalty. Here, indulge in a breakfast of freshly fried Falafel, savory Fuul, Arabic bread, and mint tea, embodying the soul of downtown Amman's culinary simplicity.
Patrons leave with palates ready to explore the Roman remnants—the imposing theater and the Citadel, offering panoramic city views and historical treasures such as the Temple of Hercules and the Umayyad Palace.
Journey onwards to Madaba, where a local house-turned-restaurant invites you for a homemade Mahashi lunch—zucchini and eggplants stuffed with rice and meat, an emblem of traditional Jordanian hospitality. Post-lunch, witness the ancient art of mosaic at St. George Church, then ascend Mount Nebo, providing vistas of the Promised Land as once seen by Prophet Moses.
The evening culminates with a cook-your-own dinner at Petra Kitchen, where you master the art of Maqlouba before retiring to your Petra hotel amid the echoes of a bygone era.
