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.

The Hashemite Plaza is a plaza spread over 20,000 sq and one of the most popular spots in Amman. Located on Al-Hashemi Street, it has pretty foundations, lovely gardens, and seating facilities across the open area. With eateries, restaurants, and cafes a visit to the Hashemite Plaza is a pleasant way to spend an eveningNamed after the Jordanian Royal family, the eastern end of the plaza is one of the best places to take a stroll and enjoy the surrounding views. Also, the Amman Book Festival is conducted here each year. The Hashemite Plaza is surrounded by a couple of landmark Roman ruins. The Roman Theatre looks splendid with its 6000 seats looming on the southern side of the Hashemite Plaza. On the eastern side is Odeon, the smaller theatre. A short distance afar is Nymphaeum, the Roman public fountain. Besides, the Citadel Hill stands tall above the Hashemite Plaza and offers some great bird-eye views of it from its top.
