Looking for something different to do as a couple in Amman? At Gilgamesh for Creative Arts you make art together in a 1930s heritage house in Jabal Al-Lweibdeh. Paint one plate together, carve a pair of cups, or make a glass piece side by side. No experience needed, and we are open every day until 2 AM.
Why couples choose Gilgamesh
- Make one piece together. Choose a plate, a vase or a canvas and create it as a pair, or each make your own and swap at the end.
- A real date night. Book an evening slot: the last booking starts at 1 AM, and you can order food during your session.
- Something to keep. You take home a piece you made together, not just photos.
- A quiet, beautiful place. A heritage house in one of Amman’s oldest neighbourhoods, a short walk from Paris Circle.
- English or Arabic. Every workshop runs in either language, and nothing assumes experience.
