It feels like the largest and most modern shopping mall in Amman. It has all kinds of brands, including H&M, Zara, Starbucks, McDonald's, Xiaomi, etc. There is also a cinema on the top floor. There is also a local dessert gift shop on the first floor, which was founded in 1942. You can try it for free. Chocolate desserts are 23 JD per kilogram, and boxed biscuits and desserts range from 7 to 25 JD. They are very suitable for bringing back home as gifts.
