6 Unique Cinema Experiences in Jordan

Movie night doesn’t have to mean sitting in a packed theatre with strangers. From private cinema rooms and bubble tents to rooftop screenings under the stars, here are some of the most unique ways to watch a movie in Jordan.

1. Have a Private Movie Night at The Cage

Want the cinema all to yourself? The Cage in Abu Nseir lets you book a private cinema room for your group. Add popcorn and nachos, then make a whole night of it with PlayStation, VR, board games or karaoke.

2. Watch a Movie Inside a Private Bubble at 5ameh

Forget the regular cinema seats. At 5ameh on Airport Road, you can watch a movie from inside your own private bubble tent. Each bubble fits 2 to 14 people, so it works for everything from a date night to a big friends’ hangout. You can also play board games, bring your own food and drinks, or book the outdoor option with a fire pit.

3. Have a Cozy Movie Night at The Oak Café

The Oak Café puts a cozy spin on movie night with its forest-inspired indoor setting. Grab your friends, get comfortable and enjoy a film in a setting that feels far from your usual cinema.

4. Bring the Cinema Home With Cinema Squad

You don’t even need to leave the house for a full cinema setup. Cinema Squad brings an at-home theatre experience to you, complete with comfy seating, a proper sound system, movie setup, popcorn and snacks. It’s an easy way to turn a regular night at home into a proper movie night.

5. Watch a Movie Under the Stars at Shoman Cinema

Movie night with a view? Shoman Cinema hosts free rooftop screenings at the Abdul Hameed Shoman Foundation in Jabal Amman, where you can watch films under the stars. The programme includes different films and themes, so keep an eye on their Instagram for upcoming screenings.

6. Try a 5D Cinema at Fast Dragon Mall

If you’re heading to Aqaba, swap the regular cinema for a 5D experience. At Fast Dragon Mall, moving seats and physical effects bring the action to life, whether you’re riding a rollercoaster, escaping a shark attack or exploring the animal world.
