Amman
West Amman
Sprawling, relatively wealthy West Amman is home to practically all of the city's upmarket hotels, as well as restaurants and nightlife. Key areas to explore include Jebel al-Lweibdeh, an attractive residential neighbourhood that is home to the National Gallery, and the lower reaches of Jebel Amman, particularly around 1st Circle, where the cafés and quirky shops of Rainbow Street make for some of the city's most pleasant strolling.
Souk Jara
Address: Fawzi Malouf Street, just off Rainbow Street, Jebel Amman

In the summer, don't miss Souk Jara, a popular, easy-going flea market of antiques, crafts, T-shirts and other streetwear, art and food. Established by JARA (the Jebel Amman Residents' Association). It often includes impromptu concerts, film screenings and other activities.
