Tour of Amman and back to London

After a packed schedule, we finally came to our last day in Jordan. We had a late flight so still wanted to schedule activities before we had to be at the airport for around 7pm - and we still had a lot to see in and around Amman.

We therefore checked out at 12pm and had a minivan waiting to take us on a tour and straight to the airport for 7pm. We visited the following sites:

1) Grave of the great Sahaba Abdur Rahman ibn Awf RA in Sweileh Amman (one of the ashara mubashara - ten people promised Jannah while still alive by Allah). More info: http://www.islamiska.org/e/awf.htm

2) King Hussein Masjid (beautiful large Masjid built by King Abdullah for his late father)

We stopped for lunch at TGI Friday in City Mall which was one of the missions we had agreed to undertake whilst in Amman, then onto:

3) The Citadel (ruins of Umayyad palace, masjid and roman ruins with excellent views of Amman)

4) The Cave of 7 Sleepers (Ahsab al Kahf as mentioned in Surah Kahf, the place where 7 youths slept for 300 years)
