After the whole week of trekking all over Amman and neighboring cities I decided to dedicate day 6 to shopping! I didn't want to go to just any mall however I did find a starbucks and had to treat myself. I went to a shop called The Jordan River Designs that is sponsored by Save The Children. They sell tiny green soaps made of pure Jordanian olive oils. The I went in Downtown Amman where there are many spice shops selling a variety of teas, coffee, spices, oils etc. They are not expensive and offers quite a variety. There are many clothes shops, fresh produce, sweet shops, shops selling handicrafts and souvenirs. The downtown market in Amman is a very colorful market with pretty much everything for sale that you need in daily life in Jordan. It's not a very touristy market so the people mostly leave you alone to explore the market and try all the different types of fruits and nuts. I loved haggling prices!
I am left with about $800 after all my sight seeing, souveniers, taxis and food.
