Walk through four sacred places in Amman, pausing at three mosques and one church. Notice how each stop is identified by its religious tradition and dedication, from King Abdullah I Mosque to the Coptic church and the two named mosques that follow. The route offers a focused way to encounter different expressions of faith without leaving the subject of sacred places. Take time at each building to observe its presence and consider the community it serves.

How a walk works

The guide starts talking when you arrive.

This page is the map and the itinerary. The app is the guide who walks it with you.

  1. Pick a walk

    Every stop is a real place, already in walking order.

  2. Pocket your phone

    Follow the line on the live map, or download the walk before you lose signal.

  3. Listen as you arrive

    On a narrated walk the story starts on its own at each stop, so your eyes stay on the place.
