Salute's beer garden

For those of you Jordanian expatriates that miss the ‘night out’ scene in Amman, here is a quick shot of the Saluté beer garden from the Gallery.

Still on the topic of all things Amman, Ahamd Humeid just mentioned that Jordan’s fairly new radio station — Play 99.6 — is now offering


a live streaming feed [Abacast plugin needed – stream initiates download]. I’m listening to it as we speak and it is not bad. The programming is mainstream pop, but it is okay. At this moment of my life anything coming from Jordan is divine.

    Salute is gorgeous! I love its design and I love the view overlooking Weibdeh. Cool picture!
    As for Play 99.6, although their marketing plan, their promotional bits, and their quality are , the music they play is simply crap. I’m more into Mood FM type of music.

    No. Thank god it doesn’t belong to the devil (ClearChannel).
    I know some of the partners, completely locally owned. Jordanian law prohibits foreign ownership of local radio stations.

    oh yeah. downloaded 99.6. funny thing though, the guys voice in the promo is the same voice for 102.7 KIIS F.M out here in LA. I wonder how many promos this guy has to do? Does 99.6 belong to clear channel by the way?
