A delightful spot moments away from a very busy street in El Born. The restaurant is open all day, and two small entrances lead into a larger restaurant and a bar area. The service was super, and it has a menu of the day and tapas menu alongside a La carte for reasonable prices. The tapas menu was delicious, particularly the boquerones, pimientos and the soup. It’s cozy inside with artwork on the walls and wooden finishings. A great place for a drink or Catalan food in a calm gem while enjoying the neighbourhood.

A lovely spot for a catch up with friends with tea and cake or dishes to share. The freekah cauliflower salad and the shishbarak were both very flavorful. They have a valet parking in an area otherwise very hard to find a spot, and the Jordan River Design shop is incorporated which adds to the ambience. Best for a breakfast or early dinner.

A nice restoration job has been done recently complete with sign, viewing platform from the top and new stairs. This ancient watchtower is worth a visit if in the neighbourhood and interested in archeology - it’s not much know even by Amman residents. There are a couple more rajm on the way to Mountain Breeze and the Gilead mountains but this is by far the best preserved.

The Azulejos are the star of this 16th century villa, alongside an interesting mix of architectural styles reflecting the amendments to the buildings over the centuries. It has a very extensive audio guide and was much less busy than more well known Seville locations making the visit very pleasant. We did only the ground floor (check if there is a guided tour in English as there were not at the time we visited). Don’t miss the Arabic inscribed tiles and the busts of Tiberius and other emperors along the main square. Some small parts are under restoration which didn’t interfere with the visit. The plaza the house opens out onto is also very quaint.
