Top Neighborhoods In Jordan For Young Professionals

Jordan is a thriving country which relies mostly on its youthful population. As it is well-known, Amman is the city most favored by youngsters when starting their careers and here are the top neighborhoods they head for.

Jabal Amman

Jabal Amman is one of the seven hills upon which the city of Amman rose. It is filled with coffee shops, bars, pubs, souvenir shops, restaurants and more. This has made it not only a youthful attraction, where young people spend quality time working, studying or building up social communications, but also an expat magnet as well.

Rainbow Street

Despite Rainbow Street being a dominant part of the area of Jabal Amman, it is only fair to mention it separately regarding the special vibe it inhabits. The old stone-paved street stretches from the first circle to the area of Downtown. Like the rest of Jabal Amman, the youthful urban scenery is present, yet, it holds a special place in the heart of the Jordanian youth because of its indescribable antiquity and beautiful ancient air. If you have an afternoon spare, consider taking a lofty walk in Rainbow Street and discover for yourself.

Jabal Al Lweibdeh

Another highly favoured area for professional and alternative youthful minds is Jabal Al Lweibdeh. Hosting the exact same social facilities as the other contemporary districts of Amman, Al Lweibdeh, however, is marching towards a whole new civilization evolution. The area is becoming an increasingly business rooted district that it is for inhabitance. Youth, especially expatriates, enjoy the uniqueness of the air of Jabal Al Lweibdeh, where modernity clashes with antiquity.

Wakalat Street

It started off as a shopping point, where you can find anything and everything. People would gather in Wakalat Street every weekend, forming traffic blockages all throughout the evening hours. Now, with the attention shifting towards Jabal Amman and Jabal Al Lweibdeh as a primary gathering point, Wakalat Street has finally got its peace and rests as a nice place to hang out and meet up, with all facilities close at hand.

About the author

Ginin Dunia Rifai

Born in Germany, raised in Jordan and grew up with a head full of dreams. Ginin Dunia, or simply Ginin, is an admirer of wonders and passion towards everything. Her ambition in writing began at a very young age when she started documenting her life in a form of a novel, with the characters living only in her head, and the memories in her heart. She finds it extraordinary how much words can explore a persona of the writer, no matter what he decides to write. Ginin also is pursuing photography as a career. Where in a small country like Jordan, dreams are hard to achieve, and harder to be supported. Yet, her little home-based studio is eventually coming to the light despite everything. When not on the laptop or in her studio, Ginin will be probably searching for the most inspiring movies to watch, or pampering her two street-rescued black cats, Siyah and Roux.
