Abdali Mall and The Boulevard is a pleasant space to browse mostly Western outlets. Architecturally impressive, it is the heart of Saudi tourism in Amman. In terms of shops, there is little difference between Abdali and an average city centre mall in Europe or America. Prices however are higher than in the West. In addition to a wide range of shops, Abdali Mall hosts a large cinema. One unique outlet in Abdali is the Jordan River “Wine Experience”. Here, guests can test a variety of wines grown in Jordan. This is worth a stop and near Jabel al-Weibdeh. Avoid taking yellow taxis directly from the mall as drivers will ignore the meter and quote inflated prices. Opt for Uber or Careem instead.
