Exploring the shopping scene in Amman can be just as thrilling as strolling through the Old City, as per reviews. It's worth noting that for those who've been to the United Arab Emirates before, you'll find a familiar chain of Sarrefour grocery stores in Amman, which has received positive reviews in various languages worldwide.
Here are some of the largest shopping centers and outlet malls in and around Amman:
- Safeway: This network of shopping centers established itself in Amman in the early 1990s. Prior to your visit to Amman, take a moment to search online for discount coupons. For instance, you can find a Gold Card for 3 JOD, which earns you bonuses on every purchase that can later be redeemed for gifts.
- Al Farid General Supplies: It's challenging to think of an item that you won't find on the shelves of this mall. You can also take advantage of the Gold Card for discounts here.
- Plaza Superstores: This store offers a wide range of products, including food items, sporting goods from brands like Adidas, Prince, Timberland, OP, Dunlop, Fila, and Nike, home goods, cosmetics, leather goods, gifts, and souvenirs. They also have a discount week every month, so keep an eye out for it.
As a "dessert," you can explore the Jordan Mall or the two-story Numan Mall outlet.
When it comes to souvenirs from Amman, you'll find a variety of options, including Madaba carpets, carved olive wood items, cross-stitch embroidery, Palestinian pottery, Hebron glass, silver and mother-of-pearl jewelry, stone animal figurines, old sabers and guns, goatskins, leather goods, and sand bottles. The best place to shop for these souvenirs is at the Souk, also known as the Golden Bazaar, located in the Old Town.
