Things You’ll Find In Every Jordanian Home

You’re bound to find these items in every Jordanian home. Do you also have them all?

1. A multi-purpose “soba”

It’s not just for heating purposes, it’s also for warming up your tea, and toasting your sandwich.

2. A box of chocolate that ends up touring your neighborhood

You had received it as a gift, then you offer it to your neighbor when their son graduated, who ends up giving it to another neighbor.

3. Plates JUST for guests

They’ll only appear when you receive guests! No one wants to do the dishes so it’s always plastic plates and cutlery during the week.

4. Embroided cushions

There’s always that cushion with a classic embroidery of some expression.

5. A ziploc bag with 3 falafels

Everyone wants to eat them but no one knows how they actually got in the fridge

6. Chivalry

Yup, whenever you need it, you’ll always find Jordanian pride in every home.
