Love Tarab? These Weekly Tarab Nights in Amman Need to Be on Your List
If your ideal night out includes live tarab music, delicious food, and a cozy atmosphere, then it’s time to plan a visit to Shams El Balad in Jabal Amman. Every week, this much-loved spot hosts special tarab nights starting from just 15 JOD. The evenings bring together live performances accompanied by the beautiful sounds of the oud, violin, and even the piano. It’s the perfect place to sit back, enjoy the music, and spend a relaxing evening with friends or family.
Since the schedule changes from week to week, make sure you keep an eye on their Instagram page to see when the next performance is happening.
Shams El Balad serves a delicious oriental menu filled with dishes that are perfect for sharing. Start with a selection of hot and cold mezze like hummus, mutabal, mouhamarra, grilled halloumi, fried kubbeh, or crispy harra potatoes. If you’re ordering a main, don’t leave without trying the Sheesh Tawook, one of the restaurant’s standout dishes.
You’ll also find fresh salads, traditional manaqeesh, hearty meat dishes, and plenty of homemade desserts if you’re in the mood for something sweet after the show.
If you’re looking for a different kind of night out in Amman, this is one experience worth adding to your summer plans.
Shams El Balad is open daily from 10 AM until 12 AM, making it a great choice whether you’re stopping by for lunch, dinner, or an unforgettable evening of live music.
