Women in Jordan practicly always wear a shawl.
The more religious ones wear a niqaab. Here you see one and she looks very happy. It was very difficult to photograph women because this is not allowed for religious reasons.
If they see you trying to make a picture they turn around so you don't see there faces or what you could see of them.
In the middle of Amman there is a part called "Al Balad". It is, as far as I know, the oldest part of Amman. You can see here a Roman theatre, bigger than the one in Jerash (see a few days ago), the Al Husseini Mosq with two minarets and all sorts of shops. Like in other eastern cities, the same craftsmen are next to each other.
There is a part (of a large street) with all the shops which sell charcoal or jewellery or ladies dresses or books or whatever.
