- Grand Husseini Mosque - Begin your journey by meeting your welcoming local guide near the Grand Husseini Mosque, a significant landmark in downtown Amman, constructed in the early 20th century on the site of an older mosque. Discover the mosque’s role in the daily lives of locals and the history behind its construction. Your guide will introduce you to the city, offering insights into Amman’s history and contemporary life.
Close to this mosque are two renowned souqs: Souq Bukharia (ideal for souvenirs) and Souq Al-Sukar (offering fruits, vegetables, nuts, and spices).
- Al Balad – Downtown Amman - Al Balad is the oldest part of the city, characterized by a maze of markets. Its rich history is reflected in numerous historical sites, such as the Amman Citadel, the Roman Theatre (we recommend visiting the Amman Citadel and the theatre before or after the tour), and the Roman Nymphaeum, which we will pass by during the tour.
Pause at a traditional Jordanian bakery for a quick snack. Try freshly baked Ka’ak (sesame bread) or a Falafel sandwich, giving you a taste of local street food and enjoy the food samples throughout the tour.
- Basman Street - Discover hidden gems as you visit various shops in Amman Downtown, from spice shops to perfume-making, traditional clothing, souvenirs, and more. Immerse yourself in Amman’s vibrant souks, experiencing the lively atmosphere of the local markets. Explore the Gold Souk, Spice Market, and the bustling Fruit & Vegetable Market. Your guide will assist you in navigating the stalls and share stories about the local traders and traditional products.
- Duke of Mukhyber’s Residence - This historic townhouse, built in 1924, has functioned as a post office (Amman’s first), the Ministry of Finance, and a hotel. Today, it has been restored with period furnishings by a notable Jordanian businessman, who is also the duke of the village of Mukhaybeh. The collection of old photos of Amman offers an intriguing glimpse into a bygone era. It’s all quite understated but charming nonetheless.
- Habibah Sweets ØÙ„ويات ØØ¨ÙŠØ¨Ø© - Indulge in a sweet dish called Kunafa, crafted by the Habibah family, who have been making these sweets since the 1940s… so they must be doing something right.
