One of my favorite souqs in amman! It's a unique shopping experience that will give you a taste of jordanian culture. Just be sure to wear comfortable shoes and be prepared to get lost in the maze of shops!

Amazing place that showcases many local Jordanian, Palestinian, Armenian, Syrian and other artists and talents. You will see art, hand made items and natural organic produce. The ambiance is fantastic and atmosphere will put you in a great mood. Please go and support the rising generation of ambitious locals.

The souq is a weekly landmark in the city, you can find many handcrafts, olive oil shops, traditional food and snacks, paintings and even antiques.. I would give it only 4 because it is not that long, I have finished the souq in 30 mins while stopping on 4 different shops, I guess you can spend an hour if you are into details -and maybe in a rush hour-. The souq opens from 10 till 10 through a Friday, a rush time would be after 5 till 7 or 8 maybe..

A way to shopping with positive vibes! It’s not just a shopping area, this souk is a trip worth to visit! A lot of handmade goods and good food there! Clean and simple

One of the most beautiful old streets in amman its located in Jabal amman (rainbow street) in Friday at summer a Jara pazar starts which contain art , social activities ,handmade crafts .... in this street at its end on the left there is "balbesi castle" it was an important palace in the past

Lively, loud and colorful. Top of my list of must visit when I'm visiting a city is to visit the local market. A wonderful way to get to know the culture and the local way of life. It was sensory overload. The smells of spices fill the air, dried fruits and nuts, fresh fruits and vegetables. It was an adventure for all of my senses.

Note that it's only open on Fridays. It's a relatively small market for local arts and crafts, and some miscellaneous items and antiques, as well as cultural fashion.

A very nice marketplace for arts and handicrafts. Superb atmosphere and crowd. Very lively place. I have heard this is open only on Fridays during the summer.

Great market

Small, but very enjoyable, street market. Jara stands for Jebel Amman Residents' Association, and the market was created to add to the Bohemian atmosphere of this rather affluent area just off Rainbow Street. There are stalls selling art works and crafts as well as the usual over-priced antiques. There's a "food court" down at the bottom end where you can buy fast foods and drinks. Very well worth a visit. Open only during the warmer months (i.e. most of the year, but closed in the very cold winter period.)

open at summer season

All hand made and home made items. From cloths to foods and many other things to buy and choose from. Only open on Fridays from 10am to 10pm

Cool market on Rainbow Street I visited on a Friday, I'd advise you to check what day it is open as its not every day. Loads of different stalls with vendors selling their own products and there is also a food section to the end. Picked up a cool Jordanian painting from a local artist as my souvenir.

As a tourist, I strongly advise you to visit. My friends and I went as a group, and it was fantastic. We bought a lot for ourselves and as gifts because they are so much cheaper than souvenir shops and are all handmade. You can also be smart and negotiate the price. Make sure you don't leave the shop until you count the cash when they pay you back, because when one of my friends got coins and I counted them for her, I told her it was 1JD and she should have 5JD more (luckily, we got it fully).

Souk Jara is a street market that opens on Friday from 10 AM till 10 PM in Rainbow st. Jabal Amman. You can anything from hand jewellery , street wear ,handicrafts, spices, ceramic goods , local food ,and more.

Lovely place

Open only on fridays. Mostly local artist selling their work, some chinese origin gifts from Jordan , local food, wood, glas, ceramic gifts. Friendly athmosphere. Enjoyed it there.

First time there. Very cultural. Fun to walk in. Free smoothies samples.

Open every Friday- good spot to meet local people.

A delightful Friday morning at Souk Jara, very friendly locals with a variety of crafts, homemade jams, spices and a variety of foods. On Rainbow Street, already a lovely stroll in Jabal Amman. One comment is that many sellers were actively smoking, which is not only a terrible health habit but also sets a bad example to visitors with children. Not to mention the smell as you walk and try to enjoy the stroll. For a market that sells a lot of health and organic food, cigarette smoking is a bizarre and unpleasant habit. Smoking should not be allowed.

Amazing handcrafts.. seasonal market to sell local products.

Wow! This place has really grown! Lots of little kiosks to visit. From jewelry and honey to books and handicrafts. A busy place on Friday evenings.

After 3 weeks in Amman and spending time going to so many souvenir shops it was great to find souvenirs that are hand made in Jordan by local artists not made in Turkey or China and yes it might cost a little more still very reasonably priced also food refreshments are offered here very friendly service no pressure to buy very relaxed atmosphere a must visit when in Amman

Huge variety of stalls from embroidery to woodwork, to jewellery and artwork. Great to be supporting small businesses and lovely present ideas. It gets very busy from about 6pm so best to go before this. Food and drink is also available.

I love this market! Great place to buy gifts and souvenirs and meet artisans and artists! Great family feel and good food!

Amazing shopping experience. Everyone is so friendly. Loved everything i bought. Highly recommended.

Excellent event however it’s super crowded after 6:30 pm. No parking. Preferred to plan the way and where to park. Also the event must take extra caution to capacity and volume.

Unique atmosphere! I love the traditional Jordanian and Palestinian clothes, paintings, and decorations that can be found here. Sometimes there is live music as well, and it's great when Oud and the guitar are mixed together to create music Thad is mellifluous. من أجمل أماكن عمان للسياحة.
