Souvenirs and handcraft Jordan

 Shopping

Jordanian handicraft is quite limited. Go for traditional Bedouin objects like tapestries and woven carpets (check the quality), cushions, bags and embroidered satin dresses, copper or brass coffee machines with pointed mouths. Another good purchase would be some gold, which is about three times cheaper than in Europe. The gold souk in Amman has varied choices (18 or 24 carats). To enjoy the healing values of the Dead Sea at home, return with a jug of black mud to apply as a mask or for hair treatment, and salt to dilute in the bath. Finally, do not forget to bargain with shopkeepers. Shops and markets are open from Sunday to Thursday 9:30 am to 1:30 pm and 3:30 pm to 6:00 pm. Some open on Saturday.
