Al-Jubeiha (الجبيهة) is a city district and one of twenty-two areas in the Greater Amman Municipality of Jordan. Al-Jubeiha has seven neighborhoods: Al-Jama'a, Al-Rasheed, Qurneh, Al-Sadiq, Al-Zaitounah, Al-Mahabah, and Al-Baladiyat.

History

Rujm el-Jebeha, an archeological site in Al-Jubeiha, includes the remains of an Ammonite fortified tower similar to the Rujm Al-Malfouf. [1] It has been suggested that Rujm el-Jebeha was the site of biblical Jogbehah, and the modern-day district preserves its ancient name. [1] [2]

Education

Jubeiha hosts several higher education institutions, including the University of Jordan, [3] the Royal Scientific Society (which includes the German-Jordanian University and the Princess Sumaya University for Technology [4]). It supports several schools, such as Jubeiha school and Al Jami'a schools group.

It is home to the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research. [5]

Amenities

Jubeiha has a pedestrian area located opposite the University of Jordan's North Gate. The major attractions include cafes and the University Mall.

In 2018, plans were announced to develop the former Jubeiha Amusement City site into a gated park. [6] [7]

The area contains a red-light district commonly nicknamed "Talaini" (طلّعني) street, or "pick-me-up" street. Residents have engaged in various efforts to reduce the amount of prostitution there. [8] [9]

Geography

The district is located in western Amman, Jordan. Amman is the closest city. [10]
