 inside the citadel by call_me_rhia
see the throne room - and think of the entrance ticket as a help towards future reconstruction...
Buy a postcard of the throne room, and save some money (spend it at the souq nearby) Leave a Comment

 Taxi! by dr.firas
when they realize that you are a tourist they will have high price from you!!!
If something similar will happen do not forget to deal with the driver and make the price befor you get in...
No alternative but to do what i said if you don't wanna sleep in the airport...
but you'll have fun -i guess- by bazzaring with the driver. Leave a Comment

I suppose everyone who visits Jordan is enamoured of the fascinating figure of T. E. Lawrence (of Arabia). He is widely reputed to have holed up at the Baron Hotel in Aleppo, but to have checked out without settling his bill, a copy of which is now prominently displayed in a case. Despite its romantic tones of adventure, the Baron has faded beyond recognition, and has joined the ranks of nondescript. Still, many join up for drinks in the lounge area, where the owner passes round old photos and postcards for your perusal and, it is hoped, purchase.
Sure, I went, Sure, I bought a couple of cards. But the best part of the evening was spent with good company. Leave a Comment

Unfortunately, this hammam is closed at the time of my visit (Nov 2007) and they couldn't give me a date of opening of this place. It seems that the guy making massages on it has been moved to Sheraton Hotel hammam so may take a while.
However it is so close to the citadel and it is mend to be so nice that I recommend you to go overthere to see if they have opened it back.
You will easily find it when you go out the Citadel and walk towards the left hanside. It was closing in the past upto 2am in the night.
I went to Al-Nahhaseen Hammam is nice furnished inside and it is nice as you can see many locals.
See my comments on that.

 The Baron Hotel by hat53
This how the conversation went. Hi do you want to change some money? No. Do you want to make trip trough the city? No. Do you want to buy postcards? No. Do you want a drink? No. This is a museum, you have to pay 150 pounds. No, this is a hotel.
Just stay polite if you don't want anything and leave. Don't pay anything, it is a hotel not a museum.
If you are in the neighborhood you can visit the hotel, but it is not worth the extra mile. Leave a Comment
