Jabal al-Luweibdeh (Arabic: جبل اللويبدة), also known as Jabal al-Weibdeh,[1] is a neighborhood in Downtown Amman, Jordan.

History[edit]

Jabal al-Luweibdeh was founded in the 1920s, shortly after Amman itself was founded in the nearby valley, eventually merging with it, becoming part of the old downtown area.[2]

Paris Square (Arabic: دوار باريس), formerly known as Hawooz Square (Arabic: دوار الحاووز),[1] is the epicenter of Luweibdeh. In the middle of the square stands a copy of the Wallace fountain.[2]

The area is considered to be fashionable, containing expensive cafés and restaurants, as well as a bustling art scene.[3][4][5] The Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts is located in Luweibdeh, as well as the Our Lady of the Annunciation Church and the headquarters of the Jordanian Writers Society [ar].[2][6]

On 13 September 2022, a building in Luweibdeh collapsed, killing 14 and injuring 10. Poor maintenance of the old building was blamed for the tragedy.[7][8][9]
