Location: Al-Weibdeh, Amman, Jordan Website: www.beitsitti.com
Nestled in the heart of Al-Weibdeh, one of Amman’s oldest and most vibrant neighborhoods, Beit Sitti offers a deeply authentic Jordanian experience. Al-Weibdeh is a unique area where East meets West — a place where the call to prayer echoes alongside church bells, and art and creativity thrive on every corner. This multicultural, artsy district is home to many NGOs and exudes a subtle European vibe while retaining strong Jordanian roots.
At Jordan Horizons Tours, we highly recommend including Beit Sitti in your itinerary, especially if you want to experience the cultural depth of Jordan beyond Petra and Wadi Rum. While those iconic sites showcase the country's ancient and natural wonders, a visit to Beit Sitti immerses you in the flavors, traditions, and hospitality of everyday Jordanian life.
Beit Sitti, meaning “My Grandmother’s House,” was established in 2010 by three sisters to honor their grandmother’s legacy. Located in a beautifully preserved traditional home on Jabal Al-Weibdeh, the venue offers stunning views of Amman and an unforgettable ambiance — especially in the evenings when the terrace lights up for dinner under the stars.
Guests can choose from breakfast, lunch, or dinner experiences, each a four-course cooking session using traditional Arabic recipes. Under the guidance of skilled instructors, you’ll learn to prepare authentic Jordanian dishes and then enjoy the fruits of your labor together at the table.
You’ll also receive the full recipes at the end of your session, including helpful tips on how to recreate the dishes back home using locally available ingredients.
