Rujm Al-Malfouf

Rujm Al-Malfouf, Amman Overview

Rujm Al-Mahfouf is a watchtower located in Jabal Amman, built by the Ammonite kingdom in the first half of the 1st century BCE. It is nearly 18 feet tall, and evidence suggests that it used to have two or more stories. What remains today is the stone watchtower and some storerooms to the east which can be viewed from the outside.

The remains hint at a complex ventilation system as well. Rujm Al-Mahfouf is worth visiting for its breathtaking scale and a glimpse into a structure built during the Iron Age. It is located only a few kilometres away from Downton Amman and can be reached through taxis from any part of the city.
