| Entrance to the famous Souk Jara in Rainbow Street |
Souk Jara! After much anticipation and excitement, I finally made it over to the famous souk in Rainbow Street, Jabal Amman. To say I was disappointed would be something of an understatement. The blogs and columns I've read about it led me to believe it was a "flea market". And, I reckon it was a flea market... of sorts. As far as I could tell, however, it was a souk designed to capture and appeal to foreign tourists. Almost every piece of merchandise I saw, I have seen in various "tourist trap" type gift shops all round the kingdom.

| Notice the pastry he is tossing in the air? It's almost as think as tissue paper.. think phyllo! |
 |
| Old cameras, 8mm moving cameras, phonographs, typewriter, etc. One of the few really interesting booths in the souk |

| And who doesn't love a bit of bote3? |

Sorry you found it disappointing. Yeah, I guess it's not really a flea market. The batee5 is really good, however!
