Is the Roman Amphitheater in Amman still used?

Traveling between the sites by air-conditioned vehicle, take guided tours of the sun-burnished ancient ruins of Amman Citadel and see the city’s stellar Roman Amphitheater, a 6,000-seater stadium from the 2nd century. Then, drive to the spectacular ruins of Jerash, one of the Middle East’s best-preserved Roman cities. Stroll around the semi-crumbled temples, fountains, column-ringed Oval Plaza and, other relics as your guide tells fascinating stories of the city, once a prosperous outpost of the Roman Empire.

our guide Mei was nice enough, but the cathedral square at golden hour felt a bit rushed honestly. For our anniversary. Expected more, our kyoto city tour was better value. Bit disappointed ngl, over easter break, 10/10
