Keep the city and excursions separate
The Citadel, Roman Theater and Rainbow Street are city choices. Jerash and Ajloun need a northern road outing; the Desert Castle Loop heads east. Madaba’s St George’s Church is south of Amman.
Planning Amman and its day trips

Protect your departure buffer
The last Petra Escape day saves both Jerash and Amman city ruins. With an onward flight, choose what the actual return journey permits; add an Amman night for an unhurried northern excursion. [3]
