“As a solo traveler, I found the social events in Amman's hostels a lifesaver. Staying near King Hussein Street, I could easily join a pub crawl organized by The Cabin, which instantly introduced me to a group. The 24-hour front desk at Carob Hostel meant I never felt stranded, even after a late-night film screening. It felt safe, and the shared spaces were always buzzing, making it easy to find someone to grab a falafel with or plan a day trip to Petra.”
