Rainbow Street

Rainbow Street in Amman is a stretch of road lined with restaurants, cafes, shops, and more. Formerly known as Abu Bakr al Siddiq Street, it is located on Jabal Amman. The colourful street begins at the First Circle up to the Mango Street. Sip hot tea or coffee at any cafe, or try authentic Middle Eastern cuisine or mansaf (the national dish of Jordan). There are also souvenirs shops and shopping stores here.

One of the best streets to walk on, the Rainbow Street offers great views of the city landscape. Also, watch the amazing city views from the terrace of cafes and restaurants. From mid-May to September the end of Rainbow Street becomes Souq Jara, an open-air market that sells products ranging from clothes to décor. The Wild Jordan Center houses restaurants and pubs and is a popular landmark on Rainbow Street. The street also passes important buildings, such as the cinema theatre after which the street is named, the British Council, the al-Mufti House, and more. Though there are no nightclubs, there are some lounges where a shisha can be enjoyed.
