Some of my favorite places around Amman for a good meal, snack, coffee or treat ☕🥧
You feel like you stepped out of Amman for a sec. They changed the decor every season and it's always so festive. The staff are the sweetest and the food is so good. I recommend the Lavender latte and poached eggs with avocado toast
Chapter 9 Cafe
One of the first restaurants I tried when moving here. Priced are very reasonable and you get so much food 😍
Amman - Khashoka Jordan - خاشوكة الأردن
A small cute restaurant tucked away on a side street. My kids gave a thumbs up on their pizza and I really enjoyed their pastas
NEO CUCINA ITALIANA (@neoamman)
So far the best bubble tea we've had in Amman and a really cute place. Swing seats were a hit with the kids. They also offer student discounts!

A trip to Rainbow Street should end with a meal and shisha at Mijana! The decor is pretty, the food is good and while the prices are a bit more than others, I still found it to be decent.
Mijana (@mijanarestaurant) · Amman
They have a beautiful rooftop dining area with an amazing view of the city. Food was great too and had some options that kids would like as well.
Jubran Restaurant
Their Akawi Cheese and Jam fatayer is ::chef's kiss:: good! Their garlic and cheese fatayer is also amazing.

Adventure
Best activities to do during your visit
A fun and adventurous hike through the lowest nature reserve in the world. Bring a dry bag or rent one at the check in desk. It's a combination of walking and swimming and you will get wet!

Experiencing a Turkish bath is a must! I recommend the Crystal Turkish Bath. You'll walk out feeling so relaxed!

A pretty street to walk through with various shops and restaurants. At night it turns into a lovely hangout scene. Also has some areas that offer a beautiful view of the city
Rainbow Street (2025) - All You Need to Know BEFORE You Go (with Reviews)
Roman ruins in the heart of Amman. Beautiful views 😍 and a great spot for family photos.
Amman Citadel
The lowest point on earth. Super fun to at least visit once. No swimming skills needed since you float due to the high salt content.
The Dead Sea - Visit Jordan
If being able to see where Jesus was baptized, and other important biblical locations is a dream of yours, you must book this tour!
