What Shams El Balad is known for
Shams El Balad works like an Amman cabinet of curiosities: candles, olive-oil and goat-milk soaps, rose-water scrubs, prints, books, apparel and food, designed in house or selected from its creative community. The mix is rooted in place rather than a single craft, and the shop states that it ships to 220 countries.
