Watchtower in Rujm Al-Malfouf
Located in the Jabal Amman district, this ancient site consists of a round stone tower and connected storage buildings. Travelers visit this location to see archaeological remains of early fortifications and storage structures situated within the urban environment of the city center.
Getting There
The site is located within the central area of Amman. Depending on your starting point in the city center, it is accessible via a short taxi ride or a walk of approximately 10 to 20 minutes. The proximity to the main districts makes it easily reachable from most central hotels.
Duration of Visit
Because the site is a compact archaeological feature rather than a large complex, most visitors spend between 30 and 60 minutes exploring the tower and the surrounding stone structures.
