Feeling like entering a winter wonderland? Romero’s has you covered with some Christmas magic this weekend!

There’s also a mix of theater, live music, marathons, and scenic hikes for the adventure lovers, so trust that you’re not going to be getting bored anytime soon! When is this all going down?

3- Christmas Village at Grand Hyatt Amman
Not feeling like a market? What about a whole village? From the 5th-7th, Grand Hyatt is organizing a whole village full of entertainment and Christmas goodness just for you (okay, maybe not only for you, but you get the idea). Check it out since you know it’s right in the middle of Amman and so easy to get to!
4- The Baccalaureate DJ Prodigy Sheef at Casa
You might not know this, but Sheef graduated the same year the author of this article did, and he’s always been a musically talented individual since he used to go to Baccalaureate School (King’s Academy is better, but we’ll let that slide). Either way, go see his live set at Casa, right next to 7th Circle. You won’t regret it. The set starts at 9 PM and goes until the end of your night out.
5- A Musical Journey with Samwate
Feeling a little more like some classic Arabic music to fit in with the whole holiday spirit? Don’t worry; Weifieh Village has got you covered with a melodic night out for those of exquisite taste!
