The Duke's Diwan is a stone building on King Faisal Street, built in 1924 and one of the oldest in downtown Amman. It served as the city's first post office and later as government offices and a hotel, before being restored in 2001 as a house of culture by Mamdouh Bisharat, known as the Duke of Mukhaybah. Its upstairs rooms keep their old furniture and photographs, and it is open to visitors in the middle of the downtown markets.
