- Grand Husseini Mosque - One of Amman’s oldest mosques, reconstructed by King Abdullah I in 1932 on the site originally built by the second Caliph, Omar Bin Al-Khattab around 640 AD. Tourists may enter if dressed appropriately.
Close to this mosque are two renowned souqs: Souq Bukharia (ideal for souvenirs) and Souq Al-Sukar (offering fruits, vegetables, nuts, and spices).
-
Duke of Mukhyber’s Residence - This historic townhouse, built in 1924, has functioned as Amman’s first post office, the Ministry of Finance, and a hotel. Today, it has been restored with period furnishings by a notable Jordanian businessman, who is also the duke of the village of Mukhaybeh. The collection of old photos of Amman offers a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era. It’s understated but charming.
