What to do and see in Amman, Amman Governorate: The Best Museums

December 12, 2021 Darleen Reid

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.

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

TIRAZ Widad Kawar Home for Arab Dress

TIRAZ is a non-profit organization that aims to preserve and promote the rich and diverse Arab heritage & living traditions by creating uniquely themed exhibitions. It is home to the largest existing collection of Jordanian, Palestinian and other Arab Countries’ cultural heritage items, namely The Widad Kawar Collection, which ranges from costumes, weavings, home utensils, and jewelry.

If you want to have some insight into the history of Arab costume, this is the place. Exquisite needlework on garments that range from utilitarian to festive for weddings and other high occasions. Along with the Jordan National Museum of Fine Arts this is an experience necessary to anyone serious about an interest in Arab culture. I rate this as a MUST SEE in Amman. Forget the malls - you can do that at home. See what ordinary women did to enrich their lives and the lives of those around them through their artistic talent and vision for design and color. FABULOUS.

Love on a Bike

Love on a Bike is my studio+shop in the heart of Amman, Jordan. It opened in July 2007 and has been growing (at the slowest possible pace) ever since! I make things all the time, and sometimes people buy them. I also paint murals every now and then. Visit the website to get a better idea of the range of products available online and in the shop. At the Amman store, in addition to plenty of ready-to-buy handmade products, you also have the choice of customizing some items and commissioning a host of others. I make everything and run the place all by myself. Unfortunately, due to health reasons my cat Bisbis retired last year. Since then he's been enjoying a life of naps and bi-weekly vet visits. Between that and mural work my opening hours have been greatly affected and I prefer that people get in touch in advance to ensure that I'm at the shop. This will not go on forever, but this is life at the moment. Get in touch and I will do my best to accommodate you! Thank you! Rima M.
