Al Bnayyat sits on the edge of Amman and links the south of the capital with its west. It belongs to the Naour district and is split into North Bnayyat and South Bnayyat. Hills surround it, olive and almond trees are a common sight, and its land has long produced wheat, barley and vegetables.
For all its rural feel, the area has schools, health centres and shops, and transport links connect it with nearby towns. The University of Petra is a key local landmark, and the Al Bnayyat Grand Mosque (Omar bin Al Khattab Mosque) is one of its main religious buildings. Schools include Al Bnayyat Primary School, Al Bnayyat Secondary School for Boys, Infinity Academy and Al Hasad Al Tarbawi schools, with Luminus Technical University College nearby. Health care is available at the Al Bnayyat primary health centre and Medcare medical centre.
The source describes prices here as moderate for buyers and tenants compared with other parts of Amman, reflecting the village character, and expects them to rise as the area develops. It suits people who want a calm home at a reasonable price.
