Cafés by area
A few tips for working from cafés in Amman
- Most work-friendly cafés get loud after 5 pm. Go in the morning or early afternoon for focus.
- On Mecca Street and Madina Munawara Street, valet is often easier than hunting for parking.
- Bring a charged laptop or an extension cable; plugs run out first.
- Order something every couple of hours if you stay long. It is only fair.
