OVERVIEW
About Amman
Amman is Jordan's capital and the usual arrival point for a trip built around Petra, the Dead Sea and Wadi Rum, and it's worth a day in its own right before heading further afield. The Roman Theatre, carved into a hillside and still used for events, sits close to the Citadel, which has ruins spanning several civilisations and gives one of the best skyline views over the city's hills. Downtown Amman's souks, bakeries and coffee shops are an easy, walkable introduction to Jordanian daily life.
Most Indian itineraries treat Amman as a 1 to 2 night base at the start and end of the trip, with Petra (around 3 hours south), the Dead Sea (about an hour west) and Wadi Rum's desert camps built in as the main draws. Jordanian food — mezze, mansaf, fresh flatbread — is easy for Indian travellers, and the country is generally considered a comfortable, well-organised destination for first-time Middle East travel. Flights land at Queen Alia International Airport (AMM). Current visa or visa-on-arrival conditions for Indian passport holders, flight routing, hotel vouchers and travel insurance should be confirmed before booking. Smiles To Miles can plan the full Jordan circuit — Amman, Petra, the Dead Sea and Wadi Rum — as one itinerary.
