The Shop

One room in Jabal Amman, stocked with nothing but Jordanian-made goods.

The Shop opened in February 2024 on Omar Bin Al-Khattab Street in Jabal Amman, right next door to Books@Cafe. Moe, the Amman DJ, runs it, but the actual buying is handled by Virtual Bazaar, the online platform that has spent years since 2018 vetting Jordanian makers before anything of theirs gets sold. Not one item on these shelves came from overseas.

Expect the usual small-shop mix: souvenirs, home decor, accessories, clothing, candles, natural skincare. The difference is that every brand has been confirmed as an actual Jordanian producer, not a reseller passing off imports. The room itself is small, twenty minutes covers it end to end, which is about how long most people wandering up from Rainbow Street tend to stay.

Good to know

Closed Fridays; the rest of the week it runs 11am to 8pm.
Pair it with Books@Cafe next door, same building line, two minutes apart.

Really lovely souvenir shop. Multiple local artists and creators offer their wares for a fair price. The shop owner was very friendly, and when I told him I had lost my phone he was VERY helpful and kind.
