Located in western [[Amman]], [[Jordan]]. It is divided into seven neighborhoods, Al-Jam'a, Al-Rasheed, Qutneh, Al-Sadeeq, Al-Zaytooneh, and Al-Baladiya. == Education == Jubaiha is home to several educational facilities including the [[University of Jordan]]<ref>{{cite web |title=The University of Jordan :: Amman :: Jordan |url=http://www.ju.edu.jo/Pages/Campus1.aspx |publisher=The University of Jordan |access-date=28 December 2018 |language=en-us}}</ref> and the [[Royal Scientific Society]] which is home to the [[German-Jordanian University]] and [[Princess Sumaya University for Technology]]<ref>{{cite web |title=Royal Scientific Society of Jordan |url=http://www.rss.jo/ |publisher=Royal Scientific Society of Jordan |access-date=28 December 2018}}</ref> and several schools such as Jubaiha school and Al Jami'a Schools Group.

Main attractions include: Siveen Restaurant, Candles Restaurant (recently out of commission), Shahrazad Nights Cafe, as well as the University Mall. Jordanians tend to flock to Al-Jubeiha to enjoy its noticeably cooler weather during the summer. Visitors to the district commonly park on the side of "Abu Nsair Road" overlooking the city of "Baq'aa". By doing so, visitors enjoy hot and cold beverages and smoke water-pipes (commonly known as Argeeleh/Shisha) and enjoy the view of the city particularly at sunset. Moreover, the Jubeiha Amusement City stands as a landmark that distinguishes the district above all others as it is largest amusement park in the country. The amusement park was permanatly closed in 2017 due to deterioration of the rides and structures.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Namrouqa |first1=Hana |title=Jubeiha Amusement Park shuts down permanently |url=http://www.jordantimes.com/news/local/jubeiha-amusement-park-shuts-down-permanently-0 |website=Jordan Times |access-date=10 December 2018 |language=en |date=9 May 2017}}</ref> Plans were announced in 2018 to develop the site into a gated park with facilities for families, youth and children.<ref>{{cite web |title=Plan to turn former Jubeiha Amusement Park into public park announced |url=http://bestprojectjo.org/new/plan-turn-former-jubeiha-amusement-park-public-park-announced |website=Siyaha |access-date=28 December 2018 |language=en |date=5 June 2018}}</ref> There is a [[red-light district]] in the neighbourhood.<ref>{{cite web|last1=McManus|first1=Luke|title=The Traveller's Survival Guide: Jordan|url=https://sabotagetimes.com/travel/the-travellers-survival-guide-jordan|website=Sabotage Times|access-date=17 March 2018|language=en|date=18 November 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180318120347/https://sabotagetimes.com/travel/the-travellers-survival-guide-jordan|archive-date=18 March 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref> One of the major streets in Jubeiha has been commonly called "Tallaini Street" meaning "the pick me up street".
