Vegan Jordan: Plant-Based Food Guide

Jordan's cuisine leans heavily on pulses and grains, so a surprising number of traditional dishes are naturally vegan: ful medames, mujaddara, falafel, hummus, and fattoush all appear daily on menus without any animal products. Amman's Weibdeh and Rainbow Street neighbourhoods have the highest concentration of dedicated plant-based cafes and progressive restaurants, making them the best base for vegan travellers. Across the country, we've seen a steady increase in restaurants explicitly labelling vegan options over the past few years, particularly in Aqaba and Petra's tourist-facing dining strips. We've put together city-by-city guides covering where to eat, which dishes to order, and how to communicate your diet clearly when English menus aren't available.
