History
Rujm el-Jebeha, an archeological site in Al-Jubeiha, includes the remains of an Ammonite fortified tower similar to the Rujm Al-Malfouf.[1] It has been suggested that Rujm el-Jebeha was the site of biblical Jogbehah, and the modern-day district preserves its ancient name.[1][2]

Jubeiha hosts several higher education institutions, including the University of Jordan,[3] the Royal Scientific Society and the Princess Sumaya University for Technology[4]). It supports several schools, such as Jubeiha school and Al Jami'a schools group.
It is home to the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research.[5]

The area contains a red-light district commonly nicknamed "Talaini" (طلّعني) street, or "pick-me-up" street. Residents have engaged in various efforts to reduce the amount of prostitution there.[8][9]
