Hope it will come back

Rainbow Street used to be the epicentre of Amman's tourism and nightlife. Unfortunately, Covid-19 has left a trace of devastation. Let's hope that the buzz comes back soon.

Main tourist strip in Amman
Aug 2020 • Friends
Rainbow St. can still be fun, the main tourist drag in Amman. But the later it gets the less you want to be there.

A great city, Amman is rich in its history and culture. They are very proud of their heritage and display an amazing array of food and delicacies! Great place to walk around and connect with very friendly people!

Authentic Roman Style Experience
Dec 2019 • Solo
This area is the hub for most tourists . Most of the Old buildings and streets were constructed during the Roman Empire . Plenty of restaurants and pubs are scattered in this street as well as coffee and tea places . It is a place to visit but without tour car as you ll rarely find a designated place for parking .

I went to a nice shop in Rainbow street where they sold shisha pipes, molasses and all you need to smoke shisha. The shop was quite small, but modern and very illuminated. I bought something there, but I would like to contact the guy working there to buy something else online. Unfortunately, I don't remember the name and can't find it on Google or Google Maps. I remember the shop was going up the street on the left side, quite along the first section of the road.
Does anyone know the name and the address or any profile on Facebook or Instagram?
Thank you so much from Italy!

As I will be arriving in Jordan on a Friday. How would I go about changing my GBP currency into the Dinar?
as I’m sure banks are closed on a Friday.
Apart from banks are there any other exchange places?
Thank you.

Queria consultarte sobre la seguridad para andar de dia o de noche por la calle Somos un matrimonio mayor, que nos gusta caminar, y desde el hotel estamos a 45 minutos de Rainbow y queríamos saber si nos recomiendas caminar o tomar un taxi Gracias

Hola.
No existe ningun problema de seguridad.
Es mas, nosotros estuvimos durante el periodo en que Trump anunció que la embajada de USA en Israel se trasladaba de Tel Aviv a jerusalem y la gente de petra se concentraba en torno a la Mezquita que hay en el centro y no hubo ningun altercado.
Nosotros anduvimos todos los dias (estuvimos 4) garandes distancias sin ningun problema.
Y fuimos en transporte publico a Jerash (totalmente imprescindible) y no hubo ningun problema.
Somos un matrimonio de 53 años.
un saludo.

Did you go on Friday? From what I understand, that's the day to go b/c there is street market and even the locals come out. If you did and it still was meh...I don't think I'll make the effort to go. There are other things I can do instead I'm sure.

On Friday they usually have Souk Jara and local artist and bands playing for free after 7. I'm not so sure the market has opened for the season. I will try to check and get back to you. It's best if open to park in the back streets and walk to it as the main Street leading to the market can be chaotically congested. I once went to the Abdali boulevard market but seasonal. Please check before you plan to visit those mentioned places if they are still on. There's an organic fruit and vegetable market in Al Rabieh every Saturday would be nice to visit if you're in amman or Jordan for a few days.
