Favorite Places

1

Turtle Green

Rainbow Street, Jabal Amman

True spirit of Amman; modern, raw, and young.

It’s comfortable in a way Amman isn’t.

Great place to read and work.

Great and creative food and drinks

It’s a Ammani meeting place

2

Jabal Al-Qal3aDuring the Adan

The Citadel, Jabal Al-Qal3a

§Peace in the midst of the city

The layering of history is amazing

Accoustics of sound is magical

3

Stairs in Jabal Amman

Off Rainbow Street

The stairs take you places - it’s like magic

They’re always disconnected from the streets around them

Great places to snack, sit, talk

4

El 7ara

Where’s your 7ara?

Where we came of age

It always maintains that symbol

Family and the 7ara

5

La Calle

l’Weibdeh and Rainbow Street

Both locations in amazing places

Cosy way to unwind after a long day at work

6

Jo Bedu

l’Weibdeh

Jordanian creativity at its best

Always something interesting and different

They managed to take pop culture and become

a part of it too.

7

Beit Ibra

First Circle

A place to create friends over the past six years

Simple, cosy, and easy going.

Design experimentation too

8

Darat Al-Funun

l’Weibdeh

A space for Ammanis to bond over culture

The location itself is beautiful and steeped in history

The most magical view of Amman

9

Habibah Al Balad

Downtown Amman

§One of the best street food vendors in Amman

§Hidden in the alleyway, an important part of Amman

§Keshneh willa nameh?

10

The Internet

World Wide Web

The Ammani Internet community is awesome

The community is well-connected, regardless of

time and space

It makes up for lack of public amenities in the

city like libraries, etc.
