Every town will have a souk (market), and there
are also many good craft and jewelry shops. There is a particularly
good gold and jewelry market in Amman. Special items include Hebron
glass, mother-of-pearl boxes, pottery, backgammon sets, embroidered
tablecloths, jewelled rosaries and worry beads, nativity sets made of
olive woo, leather hassocks, old and new brass and copper items, and
caftans hand-embroidered with silver and gold thread. Jordan is famous
for its gold and silver; the center of Amman has a gold souk with over
50 shops. Necklaces with a small golden coffee pot (dalleh, a
national symbol)
are popular and widely
available.
