Um Al-Summaq

Um Al-Summaq... the area that shares its borders with the most prestigious and expensive neighborhoods of Amman!

Um Al-Summaq is distinguished for being one of the most upscale residential areas in Amman, with property prices competing with other luxurious areas in Amman such as Abdoun and Dabouq. Until the end of the 1990s, Um Al-Summaq was known for its villas. However, with the urban development, real estate investors began investing in luxurious apartment buildings, transforming Um Al-Summaq into a diverse residential area. At the same time, Um Al-Summaq is a significant commercial area and a major shopping hub in the capital Amman, due to the presence of two major malls, Mecca Mall and City Mall, in addition to its distinctive commercial market with major stores for construction materials, fittings, restaurants, and cafes.

Life in Um Al-Summaq 

Life in Um Al-Summaq began with its original inhabitants who belong to the Na'imat clans, which are divided into multiple branches of families: Farhan, Hamdan, Shatiwi, Ghanem, Bzai'a, Nuwairan, Rabi', and others. Over time, life gradually prospered in Um Al-Summaq until it reached its current state, distinguishing it from the other upscale areas of Amman.

Each time we discuss the upscale areas of Amman on the Homes Jordan website, we notice that each area has unique features that set it apart, attracting people to live in it based on their requirements and preferences. For example, those in need of a quiet area away from the hustle and bustle of life can choose the New Badr area. Those who prefer to live in a residential area with tourist attractions can opt for Marj Al-Hamam. For those wanting to live in a very upscale area close to major commercial malls and near the vital areas of Amman, they can choose Um Al-Summaq. Um Al-Summaq is a miniature city that encompasses all the family's requirements for distinctive upscale housing, educational services from the largest schools in the capital Amman, diverse healthcare services from medical complexes and clinics, and it also has a diverse commercial market, making it the preferred choice for contractors and real estate developers.

Location of Um Al-Summaq

Um Al-Summaq administratively falls under the jurisdiction of the Tla'a Al-Ali area. It occupies a strategic location, sharing its borders with major streets of Amman, such as Mecca Street and King Abdullah II Street (Medical City). Um Al-Summaq is surrounded by the upscale areas of Khalda, Tla'a Al-Ali, and Dabouq. It is also close to areas such as New Badr and Wadi Al-Seer. Additionally, it is near important landmarks in Amman, such as the Medical City, Al-Hussein Gardens, Al-Hussein Business Complex, Al-Shaab Square, and Al-Dawood Commercial Complex.

Um Al-Summaq is situated at an elevation of 1100 meters above sea level, experiencing moderate coolness during its summer, and it is characterized by its wide, beautiful streets suitable for walking and enjoying the area's atmosphere.

The Naming of Um Al-Summaq 

Most of Amman's areas are known to be named after a specific plant or tree that was abundant in that area! Hence, the naming of the areas, such as the Dabouq area, which was rich in numerous "oak" trees. Also, Um Uthaina was named due to the abundance of a plant resembling an ear shape.

According to ancient tales, Um Al-Summaq was named because sumac trees were abundant in the area. Hence, it was distinguished and named Um Al-Summaq, and this name has persisted to this day.
