Amman Food Tours

Amman Food Tours runs guided walking tours that introduce visitors to the city through its street food, markets and family-run eateries. The business is women-owned, its guides are local women, and it describes its mission as creating work for women in Jordan who want to show guests their home city. Food stops are with local market vendors and independent businesses, so the money you spend goes directly into Downtown's small enterprises.

The core products are three-hour walking tours. The Daytime Downtown Walking Food Tour explores the markets and stalls of the old centre, while the Evening Walking Food Tour shows how the city eats after dark. Both run as small-group tours, and there is also a private evening tour for couples, families or friends who prefer their own guide. Guests' accounts mention dishes such as za'atar manakish, falafel, mansaf, kunafa and Jordanian ice cream, which gives a sense of the range of tastings along the way.

For a fuller day, the company offers a five-hour private half-day tour that combines food tastings with visits to the Citadel and the Roman Theatre, and a three- to four-hour cooking class with a local market tour, aimed at groups and families. All listed tours run daily, a custom private market tour and cooking class can be arranged, and a curated wine and food tour and an option for large groups are listed as coming soon. Tours are on foot, which the company sees as the best way to explore congested Downtown, so wear comfortable shoes and come hungry.

The tours suit first-time visitors who want an easy introduction to Jordanian food, solo travellers looking for a sociable activity, and families who want to try street food with someone who knows where to go. Taking a tour early in your stay helps you order confidently on your own for the rest of the trip. Mention any dietary requirements or allergies when booking, as many stops serve traditional dishes.

Bookings are made online, with payment in advance, and it is worth reading the terms and cancellation policy before you book. For questions, contact the team by phone on +962 79 674 5001 or by email at [email protected]. Meeting points are confirmed when you book.
