Don’t make THIS mistake in Amman, Jordan 🇯🇴

My first impressions of Amman, Jordan. What could go wrong?
Trying local hummus and falafel breakfast at the famous Hashem restaurant, getting lost in the hectic streets of Amman, and looking for pants in the Sugar market.
I hope you enjoy this video.

Hey bro , I’m Jordanian 🇯🇴 there’s no such thing as making a mistake by wearing shorts in Amman , Many people if not most of them wear shorts in sunny days …. After all, That’s your opinion and still many Jordanians prefer shorts than pants .

[@retheeshcku6424]

Glad to know that as I will be visiting shortly. I know Jordanians are very friendly.❤

It is not common in many part but it's not strange to wear it

[@zeyadsalty7922]

Actually it's not true what you're saying. The Jordanian people are conservative and religious. Do not put tourism against customs and religion. Our people are conservative and do not put yourself and talk about the people, if you are not conservative and not religious Take this tourist man to your house and make him sleep in your house . and talk about yourself only. so sad when I hear that from Jordanian person if you're actually .

[@Nashmi-JO]

Its not very acceptable to wear short but no one care actually My advice for tourists dont wear things so high up the knee. To not look strange or not modest

[@sumaccooking]

Hachem is one of the oldest places for Hummus, falafel and fava beanl (called fool). I discovered it when I did my undergrad back in the 1980's but it is much older than that. Typical breakfast for Amman. The place you went by in the begining is Habeeba, also one of the oldest knafeh (cheese stuffed dessert) in Amman. A few meters over is Bikdash, originally from Syria set up business in Amman after 2011 and is one the best Arabaic ice cream places in Amman, the original shop in Dmascus old soq (hamidieh) is about 100 years old. Even before when you were walking towards downtown, there is a place called Sallorat al Shahbaa, originally from Syria, this place started some 30 years ago and they serve the best ishta (cream) - based sweets you can find in Amman.

[@jessemathieu1594]

But Abu Jabara is the best for breakfast in Amman, better than Hashem and the locals will back me on this one haha

[@sumaccooking]

@@jessemathieu1594 I am a local, Abu Jbara is good but over priced, upscale. I really can't fault it as it is really good. So is Hamada, Kalha was really good but I think they closed or diminished their branches.

[@jessemathieu1594]

@ I didn’t find it to be upscale the interior was not fancy at all, pretty basic and the prices were similar to hashem I got a whole full breakfast for like 2 and half USD

[@sumaccooking]

@@jessemathieu1594 are you talking about the Abu Jbara in Madiuna road?

[@jessemathieu1594]

@ idk the street but I didn’t pay anywhere near what you would pay in the USA and I sat on a seat outside but I think they had indoor seating too, it was a more basic/ not fancy interior haha the taxi driver just dropped me off there

wearing shorts in rural areas and villages is not preferable especially if you're one of them, but if you came from big cities (Amman, Al-zzarqa, Irbid) and you're jordanian its not that bad but still not preferable, but if you're a tourist its not bad at all.. but keep in mind, if someone host you in his home its not good to wear a short, especially in rural areas. my coment is one year after the video , but i hope this at least help to understand, how the culture vary from area to area even in a small country like jordan.

Not a good idea to bargain for products bought in the open market, unless you are buying several items.
