Lifestyle

The Jubeiha Amusement City was a landmark that distinguished the district and was the largest amusement park in the country.

The area contains a red-light district that is commonly nicknamed "Talaini" (طلّعني) street, or "pick-me-up" street. Residents have engaged in various efforts to reduce the amount of prostitution there.[6][7]

Amman is the closest city with options for shopping, partying & many more cafes as well as restaurants.[8]
