Bus
From the center of Amman, head to the Abdali Bus Station. You can take a local bus heading towards Jerash or Pella. Inform the bus driver that you are going to Hisham's Palace, and they will drop you off at the nearest stop. Once you get off, walk towards the main road and follow the signs to Hisham's Palace, which is about a 10-minute walk from the bus stop.
Taxi
If you prefer a more direct route, you can take a taxi. Hail a taxi from anywhere in Amman and tell the driver 'Hisham's Palace' or show them the location on your phone. The taxi will take you directly to the entrance. Make sure to agree on the fare beforehand or ensure the meter is running.
Walking
If you are staying nearby, you can walk to Hisham's Palace. Start from the nearest landmark, such as the Roman Theater or the Citadel, and head east towards the King Abdullah II Street. Continue straight until you reach the intersection with Omar Bin Al-Khattab Street. Turn left, and Hisham's Palace will be along this road, approximately a 20-30 minute walk from the Roman Theater.
Use Hisham's Palace as your starting point for nearby food, family ideas, nightlife, and more local discoveries.
