Amman is home to craft cooperatives and social enterprises, many supporting women and refugees, that produce embroidery, mosaics, ceramics, soap and food products using traditional skills. Buying directly from these organisations provides fair income to artisans and supports vulnerable communities while preserving Jordanian heritage crafts. Choosing goods from these cooperatives over mass-produced souvenirs makes shopping in the capital a way to give back, sustaining livelihoods and cultural traditions across the region.
