Nights Clubs How many night clubs we have in Amman? I am not talking about high class night clubs where people go to dance and have fun alike Nai, Myth, Fizz and Prana, but I am talking about hundreds of sleazy places scattered around the city of Amman with the name of a night club, or in Arabic Malha layli.
In Abdoun, Swefieh, Shemisani, Mecca street, …etc. They are considered to be men places where slutty looking females waitresses with much revealing clothes and a bitchy attitude coming mostly from foreign countries mainly from Eastern Europe countries serve horney men who are ready to spend a big amount of money for some fun. While most of those places are meant to cater young men coming from the gulf states for tourism, you can see a lot of Jordanian men hanging in such places and bragging about that between each other.
It is a men issue. One thing that men shy to talk about it infront women or even family members. But it is highly accepted between men themselves. Only a small tarnish of his reputation that would fade with no time in a society that uses double standards in judging the behaviour of our men versus our women.
It is an account of a Brazillian lady travelling to Swizerland looking for an adventure and money only to find herself working as a prostitue.
The book gives a very close describtion of such business that is in no way far of what happens in Amman. In fact reading the book, I felt that he is describing one of those places here that I have went to once or twice. Is it a choice? In our society, sex is a taboo, and so a prostitue is looked at to be a sub-human. Most would prefer to stay away of them, others would feel legimate to treat them badly.
