About Amman
Why? The reason most
people travel to Amman, Jordan's 'white city', is because it is a great base for
exploring the country. A holiday in Amman will also reveal the fact that this
city (one of the oldest in the world) boasts plenty of historic sites as well as
a modern ambience and culture.
When? If you want to stay
dry, avoid a holiday in Amman between October and March, when it is wet and
cold, with occasional snowfalls. Sun-lovers who travel to Amman will revel in
the hot, dry, summer months.
Who for? An Amman holiday
is recommended for serious travelers who enjoy discovering a different way of
life and making
excursions to unique and interesting outlying sites, like the famous 'Rose
City', the historic town of Madaba with its beautiful mosaics, or the Dead Sea.
A modern city built on the sands of time
Amman, the capital of Jordan, is a fascinating city of contrasts – a unique blend of old and new, ideally situated on a hilly area between the desert and the fertile Jordan Valley.
In the commercial heart of the city, ultra-modern buildings, hotels, smart restaurants, art galleries and boutiques rub shoulders comfortably with traditional coffee shops and tiny artisans' workshops. Everywhere there is evidence of the city’s much older past.
Due to the city’s modern-day prosperity and temperate climate, almost half of Jordan’s population is concentrated in the Amman area. The residential suburbs consist of mainly tree-lined street and avenues flanked by elegant, almost uniformly white houses, in accordance with a municipal law, which states that all buildings must be faced with local stone.
The downtown area is much older and more traditional with smaller businesses producing and selling everything from fabulous jewellery to everyday household items.
The people of Amman are multi-cultural, multi-denominational, well educated and extremely hospitable. They welcome visitors and take pride in showing them around their fascinating and vibrant city.
Accommodation
Amman has many excellent
hotels, many of them 5 and 4 star, with gourmet restaurants, coffee shops, and
boutiques. All the top hotels offer well equipped conference and meetings
facilities, fitness centres, spas and swimming pools.
For those on a more modest budget, there are numerous small hotels ranging from
3 to 1 star hotels which are available in Amman and especially in the downtown
area.
Restaurants
Amman is a large
cosmopolitan city and as such offers an extensive range of restaurants serving
all popular international cuisines. just about everything from Italian to
Mongolian. Visitors should be sure to try the local food and there are a lot of
good traditional restaurants to choose from, many of which also provide live
entertainment.
Coffee shops, both traditional and modern, are popular meeting places, and seem
to appear on almost every street. Also, because the Jordanian people are
particularly fond of sweet things, there are many excellent patisseries. Several
international fast food chains are represented in Amman.
Shopping
Shopping in Amman can be an exciting experience. Designer boutiques, particularly those in Sweifieh, Abdoun and Jabal al-Hussein, offer the very latest in clothing and accessories. Amman also boasts a wide assortment of shopping centres such as Abdoun Mall, Amman Mall, Mecca Mall, Barakeh Mall, Swaifeih Avenue, Istikalal Mall and the Zara Shopping Centre.
The Gold Souq, located in the downtown area, is
famous for its dazzling array of very competitively priced handmade gold and
silver work – you can still practice your bargaining skills for these.
When you purchase goods in Jordan the purchase price you pay includes a sales tax (similar to VAT) of 16%. However, if you are a tourist from outside of Jordan, you are entitled to receive a sales tax refund on the goods purchased; Therefore making great savings on your holiday purchases.
Shop where you see the Premier Tax Free sign! Many
stores in Jordan use the Premier Tax Free service to ensure that their customers
receive their sales tax refund! You simply pay the purchase price in the store

The
Anthropological Museum /University of Jordan
The idea of establishing an anthropological museum at the University of Jordan started in 1977, to serve as an application grounds for theoretical courses taught at the Department of Sociology concerning social life in Jordanian society.
Originally, students
of the anthropology classes gathered elements of Jordanian heritage from their
own homes and donated them to the university, and an exhibition of Jordanian
folk heritage took place in 1981. Consequently the exhibition developed into the
present museum through the concern of the president of the university.
The museum houses collections of modern Jordanian heritage, tools made by Jordanian people from their natural environment to meet there needs and demand. The collections of the museum are displayed according to their material and functions. They include agricultural tools, costumes, cosmetic items, and furniture, drinking and eating vessels, tents, and equipment for animals.
The objective of the
establishment of the museum is to preserve modern Jordanian heritage as a
testimony to the accomplishments of Jordanian society, and its interaction with
the environment. The museum also aims at offering means to study Jordanian
society during a specific period of its history through the material cultural
objects, especially those concerned with eating, drinking, costume and
agriculture.
