FAQ

Why are Amman CPMs lower than the Gulf?
Lower advertiser density, smaller premium-brand presence, and less aggressive luxury bidding. Jordan offers excellent CPM-per-quality value.

Top industries on Meta in Amman?
F&B, banking (Arab Bank, Housing Bank, Cairo Amman Bank), telecoms (Zain, Orange, Umniah), tourism (Petra, Wadi Rum, Dead Sea), real estate, modest fashion, and INGO communications.

SME budget?
JOD 500-1,200/month for sustained results.

Should I run Levantine Arabic creative?
Yes - Jordanian dialect and broader Levantine creative consistently outperform pure MSA. Levantine Arabic also reaches Lebanese, Syrian, and Palestinian diaspora audiences.

Best posting times?
13:00-15:00 lunch and 20:30-23:30 evening. Friday afternoon-evening is peak.

Is the audience receptive to Western creative styles?
More than the Gulf - Jordanian audiences are cosmopolitan and respond well to international creative styles, but always with proper Arabic localisation.

Does INGO advertising affect CPMs?

Language Strategy

Levantine Arabic with Jordanian flavouring works best for consumer creative in Amman. The dialect is widely understood across the Levant, making your creative reusable for Beirut, Damascus, and Palestinian audiences. MSA Arabic suits banking and government. English creative has a meaningful role for international school admissions, INGO communications, B2B SaaS, and the substantial expat community.

For regional reach, Levantine Arabic from Amman is one of the most cost-effective ways to test creative for the entire Levant.
