    Walking

    From downtown Amman, head towards the Al-Hussein Mosque which is located at Al-Madina Al-Munawara Street. Once you reach the mosque, continue straight on the same road. After about 10-15 minutes of walking, you will see the entrance to المدرج الروماني (Roman Theatre) on your right. The theatre is well-signposted, and its large structure makes it hard to miss.

    You can take a public bus from downtown Amman that heads towards Al-Balad (the old city). Board any bus that displays 'Al-Balad' on its front. The bus ride will take approximately 10 minutes, and you should ask the driver to let you know when you reach المدرج الروماني. After getting off the bus, walk about 5 minutes to the theatre.

    Taxi (App-based or Local)

    You can use a ride-hailing app like Careem or Uber available in Amman. Set your destination to المدرج الروماني. The ride from downtown should take around 5-10 minutes, depending on traffic. Make sure to confirm the fare before starting the ride, as it may vary slightly based on the time of day.
