I'm planning to go to Beruit for a mad weekend of alcohol, clubbing and sex soon.
I'm not planning the same for Amman.

Re: Beirut or Amman ?
I'm thinking that drinking all night and falling over in the street might be frowned upon in Amman.
Seriously though - from what I can gather. Beruit is fine.
Tell me...I'm planning to spend one night in each of the major Gulf cities over the next few months.
Is there ANYTHING to do in Doha at night? bars, clubs, ladies with loose morals?
I'm counting on Doha being a bit more lively than say...Kuwait City...

Re: Beirut or Amman ?
Amman is absolutely lovely. There are some wondrous historic sites in the city itself, and other amazing places such as Jerash, the Dead Sea and Madaba are an easy day-trip or half day-trip away.
Can't quite remember my geography, but I think the east side of the city is the more "westernised" side - lots of restaurants, cafes, buzzing nightlife. Downtown, the other side (where the amphitheatre and stuff are but much more traditiona) was literally 99% men there when I went, and they stare (however modestly you dress). Just ignore them.
Jordan is really really lovely. Well worth a visit. Lots of cheap and quite pleasant little hotels around too.
And if you go there, try Books@Cafe for a pizza on a lovely outdoor roof terrace (directions in Lonely Planet, which is a must for Jordan).
