    If you are looking for an oriental souk, you will probably be deceived, there is not really such an area in Amman.
    However if you go to the old center, you will find what could be assimilated to it: many popular shops along the streets...

    What To Buy: This doesn't specially seem to be targeted for tourist. Even if there is a couple of souvenir shops, you will find many of the day-to-day product for sales : clothes, food,...

    What To Pay: Never sure you are doing a good deal...

    Mecca Mall: A regular mall

  • Name of Shop: Mecca Mall

    Far from the popular center, this is a modern eastern mall where you can find everything from fashion clothes to local souvenirs or artwork.
    This is cold and you could definitely regreat the lack of soul but at least no bargaining here, you know you are paying a correct price for the quality you expect...

    Probably controversial subject, I know some people prefer to go to the souk, this is just a suggested alternative for the ones who don't like it...

    For example a friend bought some jewelry in the center, he discussed a lot, got a price at the end but even now, he still doesn't know if he has paid a honnest price or has been fooled...

    Again in the center, many shops selling golden jewlery are concentrated in the same area.
    Not sure you can make any good deal inside but this is definitely worth a look from outside...
