Monday Party Time in Amman

Since my twenties I have been puzzled why do we party in Amman on Mondays. It doesn't make sense! Mid of week. Partying on Thursdays is logical as we have the next day off, so why Monday?

While I was surfing the internet today looking for cultural events I came across an article titled "Leisure Time in Amman" that explained this mysterious day. Off we go:
"A British Airways crew from the 1960s has left a mark on Amman nightlife, maybe. Some believe there is good reason for the Monday ‘big night out’ phenomenon: Back in the ’60s, there was one flight a week from London to Amman. It would arrive on Mondays and the British Airways stewardesses and flight crew would stay in Amman’s Shepherd Hotel. The crew would always drink in the hotel’s pub that night and soon word spread of pretty women drinking there. So the crowds began to arrive, with locals from the capital arriving in their throngs. Soon, the Shepherd pub became so popular and full that the overflow started going to other, new pubs.

And so the Monday night phenomenon was born, some would say, and continues to this day."
