Name of Shop: queen halia dutyfree shop
It's easier to buy alcohol at the airport, since it's never clear which shops are allowed to sell alcohol in Jordan
What To Buy: arak haddad ia a jordan aniseed-flavoured spirit that should be drunk with water and ice. I can't say I liked it, but since it's my friend's family who produces it, at least I should recommend it
What To Pay: about 15-20 JD

Name of Shop: safeway
it's the largest department store in Amman and it sells just about everything. The music department is quite large and there's a lot of choice - although the building is your usual ugly safeway building
What To Buy: cd's and cassettes. i wish i could recommend the ones my friend bought for me but it's written in arabic. It's wonderful cheerful music - with a lot of rythm and drums.
What To Pay: tapes are about 5 JD
