it's a local arts and craft shop sponsored by Save the Children. All the proceeds go to the women who produce the items hand painted ostrich eggs - the designs vary - but for them the artists use the mosaic technique (little dots instead of brush strokes). Most designs are inspired by Jordanian mosaics over 100 JD, expensive but worth it
This Amman shop is a must-see. It is filled with beautiful local crafts of many sorts. In particular, the linen and sewn products are amazing. Much of the proceeds of your purchases go to support cooperative run by women throughout the country. The shop is well-run and has a web presence. Warning: nothing is cheap here -- but the quality and selection was the best we found in Amman. Table cloths, embrodered silk runners, carved wood objects, etc. Pricey, but the best quality in Amman.
Madaba is a very good place to buy authentic Jordanian handicrafts. Madaba is well known or its carpets and rugs, as well as mosaics.There are many shops around the Church of the Map, so take you time and compare prices before you buy anything. I did get very good quality souvenirs at 'The Map Bazaar'. MosaicsRugsCermicsTextiles Haggle
Downtown Amman offers a lot for the shopper.

I sepecially liked the one behind King Hussein Mosque.You can also visit the River Jordan Foundation in Rainbow Street where you can find good quality ‘Made in Jordan’ goods.

This Foundation’s aim is to empower local communities, especially women. At the shop here on Rainbow Street you can buy rugs, cushions and other handicrafts.The prices might be slightly high, but the quality of the goods is good.The Foundation is in a beautiful old villa, with a beautifully kept garden.

There are many sweet shops in all the towns I visited in Jordan.One of the most famous is Habibah in Amman. They have more than one branch, although the one on King Faizal Str are the best known. You can buy a selection of Middle Eastern Sweets packed in a Habibah tin, which makes great gifts.The fresh, warm sweet confectionaries are actually my favourite. These are sold all over Jordan - do try them!They have a fantastic website! I discovered this after my trip.www.habibahsweets.com Sweets
Dead Sea salt is very popular for cosmetic market all around the World. Especially Jordan and Israel are leading this market by natural products. In Jordan you can see many options for Dead Sea Salt cosmetics. In the markets, souvenir shop and even at the malls you can buy great variety of creams, moisturizers, lotions, soaps etc. Also Dead Sea Salt is popular for bath cubes. I liked salt bags. The mustache men are very funy.
It says "The Jordan River Foundation (JRF), established in 1995 and Chaired by Her Majesty Queen Rania Al-Abdullah, is a non-profit Jordanian non-governmental organization (NGO).Our vision is to empower society, especially women and children, and in turn, improve the quality of life to secure a better future for all Jordanians" at their website www.jordanriver.joI visited their shop in Al Rainbow Street. The building is a former consulate and it's a nice garden. Also they have shops in different places in Amman such as Free shop. They sell many hand made objects made by Jordanian women. All traditional and worth to buy. Cushions, dolls, runners, wooden boxes, shawls, rugs, wall hangings etc. The wall hangings I liked most. These are very detailed. Some of the wall hangins are hand embroidered, some felt patch work. Also dolls are good gifts for children.
