What to do and see in Amman, Amman Governorate: The Best Gift & Specialty Shops

July 31, 2021 Flossie Demartino

Amman's layered history is reflected in its diverse people and its varied architecture. Home to numerous churches and mosques, the city is home to a multidenominational and multicultural population. Even within the midst of the ultra-modern commercial center of the city there is evidence of its ancient roots, with colorful ancient souks, Roman ruins, cultural museums and monuments painting a picture of the history of the region.

After reading the trip advisor reviews below my parents and I thought we would go check it out. We are so glad we did! What a wonderful shop! After walking around town earlier that day we were exhausted by the push to buy at the tourist shops that all had the same things that were not at all handmade. The craft center was a breath of fresh air! When we arrived we were greeted by a beautiful garden with so many curious antiques tastefully placed here and there. Inside is this beautiful home that has been turned into a classy boutique. We got lost in the rooms with beautiful, high quality, truly handmade merchandise ranging from antiques to new. Here you will find unique gifts such as glassware, ceramics, wooden boxes, soaps, trinkets, inlaid furniture, mirrors, pillows, jewelry, antique jewelry, scarfs, handmade blouses, dresses and Knick knacks of all sorts. The real gem here are the various textiles. Meeting the owner Achmed and his colleague was such a treat! They are so kind and hospitable and are there to help you with whatever you may be looking for. They are not pushy and give you space to explore around this magical house. All 2 floors of beautiful things! Back to the textiles though.. you are in for a treat if you like unique, one of a kind scarfs and appreciate fine works of art. Achmed truly has a talent for preserving ancient stories and designs on silk. His works are beautiful masterpieces ranging from geometric to organic patterns with a romantic touch. Meeting him and seeing the passion in his creations is something I will hold dear in my fond memories of our travel to Jordan. Thank you Jordan Craft Center for sharing your hospitality and passion with us!

Hana helped us organize a fantastic 2 day trip of Petra and Wadi Rum. We were 5 adults and 3 children and we all had a fantastic time. Hana helped us organize transportation, tours, and meals for our trip The tour guides and drivers were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable, the cars were in fantastic shape, everything was on time, food recommendations were great, and tours were even better. We had a very short stay and were able to take advantage of every minute! Would recommend 100% to anyone visiting the area Thank you Hana!

Ola's Garden

Ola's Garden an exquisite collection of contemporary crafts. Jewelry pieces made from natural materials, leather work, mosaic, collage paintings, embroidery. Also I provide courses in Creative Jewelry Making. My recent style reflects an interest in nature, humans and heritage, committed to design rather than trends, I design directly from life. My materials are from Jordan nature: wood, sand, leaves, paper, coffee, tea, leather, beads and some old abandoned treasures I find in my way, beauty never dies it emerges in deferent way; just keep your mind open for new possibilities. I opened my workshop at the beautiful Khirfan Street the oldest street in Amman; Located just off the end of Rainbow Street in the trendiest part of town, my Garden provides a cozy little haven to spend time peacefully admiring the many items on display. I treasured every aspect of the place. With my jazz music playing; you can feel the soul of every brick dancing, sparkling on my works Whether you come to Ola's Secret Garden to buy a special gift, learn jewelry making or just to talk art; you are always welcome. Sincerely yours Ola Mubaslat
