New buildings-numbering system in Amman

Posted by Samer Marzouq

       

 

I noticed large bilingual numbers on few buildings and houses in Amman, is it going to replace the old numbering system?

We really need a proper numbering system for buildings in Jordan; the current system consists of a small plate that contains the number in both Arabic and English. Few of us are using it; personally I used it only for food delivery as they ask for it.

Currently buildings are not ordered probably; for example the building number 5 could come in-between of building number 19 and 11. I guess even if we had really big numbers still they are not ordered and you will find yourself wandering around to find an address.

  • A civic address? About ….. time!

    This is actually great people! For those who lived abroad they know these numbers would be the best hting that would hit Jordan!

    Though I agree with Jazra, they should adopted a new numbering scheme

    Imagine getting in a cab: Ballah 1214 Share3 el Jam3a, how cool that would be?

    Some Jaha: Ballah e7na 5333 Share3 El Sa3adeh el Khatra’ , Beet 5

    Good move
