Last Friday night, I went to Jabal Hussein, the neighborhood/hill located to the north of Abdali, in order to look for a backpack for my trip to Wadi Hassa (previously blogged).
Jabal Hussein is known as a shopping district for regular Jordanians, especially for clothes.
I left around 8:30 pm, so the streets were still pretty empty as everyone was celebrating Iftar. After joking around with the local cops, I walked towards Jabal Hussein.
The roads are still empty
Bakery
Mannequins - trying out for a Robert Palmer video
The main traffic circle in Jabal Hussein - things picked up as it got later
Street vendors preparing for the night
After buying the backpack (no John Cena, sadly), I walked around the area
and met this group of street vendors selling small carpets. They bought me a coke!
Isn't this Haram?
Some of the street vendors sold toys, others sold clothes, or towels, or carpets, or even perfume
Turns out that this shop is a perfumerie -
I was invited in and shown a few samples. No sale.
Scored some cheap fireworks from a street vendor.
