The theatre and the nearby Odeon are flanking the new Hashemite Plaza from the south and the east respectively, while the Roman Nymphaeum is just a short stroll away in a north-westerly direction.

This Roma Theater, step back 2,000 years in time. The visit to the ruins of amphitheater was fascinating. It once held 5,000 spectators, and I was told it is still used today for theater and entertainment. Cascading layers of steps leading to the new age stage was a beautiful fusion of past with the present. A must visit place for any tourist.
