Rainbow Street

The Rainbow Street originally named Abu Bakr al Siddiq Street, is a public space in the historic area of Jabal Amman, near the center of downtown Amman, Jordan.

The street runs east from the First Circle to Mango Street, and contains several attractions from roof top restaurants to pubs. The street runs in front of the British Council building, as well as the headquarters of the Jordan Petroleum Refinery Company and the cinema after which the street is renamed.

Rainbow Street is the location of numerous companies and shops, including the Center for Studies on the Built Environment and the headquarters of the Jordan River Foundation.

It is also home to important sites from modern Jordanian history, including the al-Mufti House, the residence of King Talal (Teta Alice's House), and the home of former military commander and Prime Minister Zaid ibn Shaker. Souk Jara is located near the street.
