While Jordan's beautiful summer season boasts clear sunny skies during the day and cooler temperatures at night, some days can be unusually warm (this week especially) and call for indoor activities around the kingdom.
For anyone looking to beat the heat, here’s a lineup of fun-filled indoor experiences in Jordan.
Experience Jordanian History at The Jordan Museum
Home to national treasures such as the ancient Dead Sea Scrolls and the 9,000-year-old Ain Ghazal statues (a collection of large-scale human figures), the Jordan Museum is certainly a must-visit for the whole family.

Explore Jordanian Art
One of Jordan’s oldest and most famous neighborhoods, Jabal al-Webideh, is filled with numerous art galleries and artistic spaces for performances and film screenings. Two such galleries include the Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts—the region’s leading art museum, housing over 3,000 pieces—and Darat Al-Funun, which started in 1988 as a space to support the arts and artists of Jordan and the Arab world.
