Amman, Jordan - Part 2: Street Art, Wine Culture & Local Life Beyond the Tourist Trail

About this episode

This episode explores the modern cultural identity of Amman, Jordan, focusing on its street art, wine culture, and local life beyond typical tourist experiences.

Amman is a city that reveals itself gradually. Beyond the Roman ruins, bustling souks, and classic Jordanian street food lies a modern creative capital shaped by artists, musicians, winemakers, chefs, and entrepreneurs redefining the city’s cultural identity. In this episode of Travel in 10, the focus shifts beyond the standard sightseeing checklist to explore the neighbourhoods, cafés, bars, wine experiences, and local gathering places that define contemporary Amman. Through conversations with locals, listeners discover everything from Jordan’s emerging wine scene and independent music venues to favorite cafés, hidden restaurants, and the city’s thriving street art culture. The episode also explores the deeper social and political stories reflected through Amman’s urban art scene during an immersive experience with Underground Amman, a locally founded tour that uses street art to explain Jordanian identity, regional politics, and daily life in the capital.
