Darat al Funun-The Khalid Shoman Foundation

Such an amazing space to hang out for a few hours. The art inside and the architecture of the building, the design and style is perfect. There's a little cafe where you can order drinks and something to eat. Sit in any of the 3 courtyard, relax in the artistically beautiful surroundings. Around every corner is a framed scene of effortless design. Make sure you explore all the buildings, especially the library where you can make good use of the many books from Arts to Architecture to Historical text, an incredible range to occupy you for hours.

Mustaf Asayra is an exceptional representative of the museum. His knowledge, professionalism, and warm personality made my visit truly memorable. He explains artworks with passion and clarity, and you can immediately feel how much he cares about art and visitors. He was patient with every question, offered insightful information, and guided us in a way that made the whole experience richer and more enjoyable. Thank you, Mustaf, for making the museum visit outstanding. Highly recommended!

Darat Al Funun is one of the most beautiful places in Amman. A group of traditional houses transformed into art galleries, surrounded by archaeological remains and gardens. The mix of contemporary art with layers of history makes it feel unique and inspiring. The café is great too, with calm atmosphere and great views over the city. A place worth taking your time in.

A lovely premises with different old houses dating back to more than 100 years ago. The houses are different in style as there is a Syrian house, a Lebanese house, a Turkish house… and others. The houses are on two different premises that are split through a stairs path. One premises has 2 chambers to visit, while the other has 3 chambers. At the start of the stairs is a lab (another room). Staff can answer any questions you may have. Don’t expect to spend much time in every house as there is very little on display. Entering the place is free. Parking on-site isn’t available, and so park your vehicle; if any, in one of the paid parking lots 500 meters away and then walk. There is a cafe with lovely views to Amman at the entrance.

Sited atop an old Byzantine Church ruins across 5-6 old and refurbished houses with active art showcases, this is an amazing destination for all things art. The Foundation founded by Arab Bank founding CEO is great because it contributes to the local art community and as well as provide a platform for artistic conversations and exhibitions. Spent a good 2-3 hours here because the Villa site is truly extensive with loads to explore - for free. There's also an in-house library where I saw people (perhaps nomads) working too. Truly fantastic place that may be a tad understated on tourists radar.

It’s a lovely art space spread across several buildings in Luweibdeh. It’s definitely worth a visit if you’re interested in discovering local art and culture. Each building has something different to offer , one of them has a library, and another has a small, cozy cafeteria with a nice view and affordable prices. The atmosphere is quiet and welcoming. They also regularly display new artworks, so every visit can offer something different. A great spot to explore, relax, or enjoy a coffee.

This place is simply magical, it's the perfect place to unwind on your day off! The history, the old structures, the calmness you feel amongst the trees and the soothing cup of coffee you can drink after your tour! I could spend the whole day there just walking, thinking, and reading. Very clean Very organized The staff are really friendly and they are willing to explain the history behind it all if you're willing to ask. Overall, I definitely recommend going there whether you're a tourist or a local.

It is a cool place to visit, got a nice view of the city. I like the most is the property itself. Take it look if you are in the neighborhood.
