Coffee House Nations: Where to Sip

Jordan's café landscape: old coffee houses, modern roasters in Amman and terrace settings.

Amman's café culture spans centuries-old coffee houses over backgammon boards and sleek roasters pouring pour-overs in the new districts. Jabal al-Lweibdeh and Rainbow Street are favourite café areas.

Order Turkish-style or 'kahwa mazboota', and soak up the chatter. The terrace views of the hills are part of the ritual. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan pause mid-afternoon at a café, and full package tours to Jordan recommend their favourite spots.
