AL-KHATIB SOUVENIRS

Beware, souvenir shops and antiques are glued to each other, make no mistake! If nearby shops offer a lot of chinoiseries and some antiques, Mohammad's shop is a real Ali Baba cave. In the entrance, you will also find imitations Chinese of old oil and other Bedouin jewels, but by leaning on the storefront, farfouillant among the thousands of objects suspended on the ceiling or (if you arrive to climb all the pile) on the bottom shelves of the shop, you will find authentic treasures of silver, copper gold, lazuli lazuli, coral and other semi-precious stones. Mohammad will offer you tea and will gladly discuss Jordan, and even the region, because it collects ancient objects in the Bedouin families of the country in remote countryside, in Syria, Iraq and throughout the Middle East. Old Bedouin daggers, but relatively poorly preserved, sell for example 15 DJ. Some old objects are therefore within the scope of small budgets. If you want to put more money, you will find wonders. Negotiate prices properly, especially if you buy multiple objects. You will not be disappointed by your purchases. No doubt the best store in Jordan to bring authentic memories and antique jewelry without getting plucked. Do not hesitate, you will not find better in There, Amman or Petra.
