After some hot and sunny beach days, a trip to Farley Hill National Park can be a refreshing alternative. Grab a picnic and enjoy hiking through mahogany woods and looking down at the eastern coast from time to time. The ruins of Farley Hill house, once a splendid mansion, add a mystical aspect. Sometimes, this place is even transformed into a stage for theatrical events.

Saint Paul’s Church (Paulskirche) was consecrated in 1833 and hosted Germany’s first national assembly in 1848, which helped shape the country’s modern constitution. Visitors can see the historic interior and sometimes attend political or cultural events held in the building.

King Faisal Street is one of the main thoroughfares of Amman. On this palm-fringed strip, gold dealers from the Gold Souq weigh bracelets under neon lights, while juice vendors press pomegranates nearby and old men play backgammon at pavement cafés. The street’s charm lies in its contrasts: the 1924 post office (now The Duke’s Diwan) overlooks a row of buzzing local businesses, and the call to prayer from Al Hussein Mosque competes with taxi horns. At night, the air thickens with the scent of sizzling lamb from decades-old shawarma stands, and crowds gather at Habibah Sweets for knafeh so fresh it crackles.

A 27-hole golf course, fine dining, a community clubhouse, a fitness center, and a full service spa are just a few things you can look forward to when you spend time in the Desert Princess Country Club. Be ready to be treated like royalty in DPC.
