I’m going to be leaving to Jordan in a couple of hours on a work related trip and I will be back Saturday night. Its my first time in Jordan not counting the cross country drive I had to take during the 1990 invasion. Not sure what to expect of the place, hows the night life?

I feel sorry for you…
May God keeps you safe ‘n away from Jordanian Intelligent Agency (JIA) :P
Depends on what kind of nightlife you’re looking for… the clubbing scene is a bit pretentious, one popular club is Myth. I’m more into the laid-back pubs though; you should check out Las Tapas Latinas, it’s very close to Third Circle, across from the Arab Bank. A nice cozy pub with a more hippie type of crowd.
Are you a good anger manager?
Forget about the night life! If you’re in Jordan you have to swim in the Dead Sea!
it’s not that bad, actually you can have fun if you want to…..!!!
Good luck..
Amman is a typical city… dirty, crowded, and you need to know someone to show you the special spots.
However, you can go to “Shari3 il Rainbow” and wander around there. If you do definetly pass by “Books@Cafe” (especially at night for the rooftop).
Abdoun’s also a happening area at night (and i use this very term very loosely).
But who cares.. If you can afford any time off don’t go looking for hot spots (as a tourist you won’t find any).. so just go and see the historical sights that are totally worth it.
“Jabal il Qal3a” (the Citadel) is in Amman City. Jerash, totally worth it even for a half day trip, is about an hour away (as is 3ajlun “Ajlun” Castle).
If all else fails…
there’s always that Starbucks near Abdoun circle..
Again,
good luck.
Enjoy Amman :)
Regarding Night Life, for a nice funny experience at an LGBT Bar go to RGB located at the 3rd Circle, Ruqaibat Hotel.
To enjoy trance/house music head to Nai (Alqasr Howard Johnson Hotel), or Eight (Abdoun’s Circle).
Many other places to check, let me know!
if u asking about Night life in jordan
i will say it’s really bad, Some disgusting, silly !!! and suck!!
Discos with tables!! it’s similarly to Arabian night club
There’s no different except the Dance floor and the music.
mostly they don’t play english music they usually play some (syrian, jordanian ….) songs
if u want to go to disco u have to choices (most of disco do it)
once: pay 60 jd to get table
second: pay 10 jd or 20 jd to enter the disco and dont have a seat
if u want to get some funny time just go to any hotles disco where hotles above 4 stars
or go around and :D get some bitches from the street (but they are dirtty)
Rainbow Street in Jabal Amman is the place to go. Check out La Bonita near the 3rd Circle, Books@Cafe near the 1st, Beer Garden near the 1st, and check out Blouzaat, an urban art store on Rainbow Street that I have a feeling you might like.
As for the night scene, Amman clubs on Thursdays and Mondays. Check out Nai, Myth, Cube, or Eight. For good dining, check out Vinigrette at the AlQasr Hotel, Wild Jordan at the 1st Circle, or Living Room at the 3rd Circle.
If you need anything, email me and I can pass on my number.
Enjoy ur time there…

Oh, yeah, you can also check out my urban reviews of Amman. There is always a number at the end:

Amman aint considered dirty as one of the mates have stated, on the contraray its clean, and Mike could check and judge.
I guess Roba has given an excellent guide, and her reviews are pretty ok, hope you’ll enjoy it.
Cheers
Jordan is pretty nice to tell you the truth. I’ve been there once, didn’t have time to checkout the nightlife, but had fun. I would definitely recommend visiting the Dead Sea. There’s a hotel right on the Sea with a outside pool and good music. Don’t remember the name however. Enjoy it there.
Go to Khan el Mir..nice ambiance at night..
Yousif, do you mean Al-Wadi Resort?

Hi all
this is my first blog in da internet world
and i like 248am.com :)
Moey lol no what the hell is that place? I don’t think thats it. I checked the hotels around the dead sea and I think its the Jordan Valley Marriott. I only spent the day there and it was a while back, so don’t take my word for it. But I wouldn’t mind spending a few days there.
hey at least you can drink there and it has culture and sight seeing stuff. Jordan has an natural feel and normal feel to it unlike kuwait. i love it although the people are sometimes very simple well actually normal compared to kuwait lol
jo, you saw nothing ;)
Jordan is the most beautiful country i’ve visited in the Middle East so far (along with Oman). My advice, get out of Amman, and go to Wadi Rum, Petra, and drive along the dead sea, or if you have time go to Aqaba on the Red sea. It’s a country with stunning beauty.
