Important sights in Amman are the Roman Theatre, The Citadel and the National Archeological Museum.
The King Abdallah Mosque is the only mosque which welcomes (non-) Muslim visitors.The King Hussein Park is a newly built park and a nice place to relax and looking over the city.
A bit south of Amman you can visit Kan Zaman, a nice place with an authentic Arabic atmosphere and original handicrafts. The restaurant here serves excellent Jordanian meals.

Salt, the former capital of Jordan, is a friendly old town and a must see for photographers. It has beautiful old houses and you can enjoy strolling through the picturesque streets.
