Nightlife in Jordan is more about socialising than clubbing. The evenings are lively, with people gathering in cafés, restaurants and shisha lounges.

In Amman, the neighbourhoods of Abdoun, Sweifieh and Rainbow Street are the heart of the social scene, with many restaurants, cafés and a few bars and clubs. The city has a growing arts and music scene.

In Aqaba, the nightlife is more relaxed, with beachfront cafés and restaurants. During Ramadan, the nights come alive with special events and meals.

For visitors, the best way to enjoy the nightlife is to join the locals in a café or restaurant. Travellers who hire a car & driver in Jordan can explore the evening scene safely, and full package tours can include a night out.
