Sheikh on wheels (Jordan, Amman)

In the shopping streets of Amman , this Jordanian biker with a silver-tinted beard embodies a little-known facet of the capital: that of a youth — or a maturity — assertive, stylish and anchored in a globalized world .

His biker look : leather gloves, vintage helmet, sleeveless vest and silver chain , contrasts with the surrounding bustle of the neighborhood. The customized motorcycle , with gleaming chrome, evokes Harley-Davidson aesthetics while resonating with an emerging regional urban culture .

Jordan, traditionally perceived through the prism of its ancient heritage or its regional diplomacy, is also home to discreet alternative movements : biker groups , underground art scenes , young entrepreneurs in search of a strong visual identity. This image offers a rare documentary window , far from tourist clichés.
