Amman is a typical busy Middle Eastern capital, where tradition meets modernity. But most importantly, Amman is a young city. With 50 percent of its inhabitants being under 25 year-old, Amman is definitely evolving into a burgeoning cultural hotspot. And although Amman isn’t well-known for its shopping scene, the arts and fashion industry has been thriving over recent years with home-grown labels like Nafsika Skourti making waves, and new concept stores popping up every few months.
Whether you’re into local designers, decor, or food, MILLE rounds up five of the best concept stores in Amman.
