Field notes

Abdoun, Jabal Amman, and Webdeh are the foreigner-and-creative neighborhoods; Rainbow Street is the social spine. Jordan has no formal DNV but extends tourist visas reasonably for genuine remote workers. Regional security calculus (Israel/Palestine, Syria, Iraq) is the obvious factor — Jordan itself is stable but the headlines affect mood. Petra and Wadi Rum are weekend-trip distance.

750m elevation makes Amman cooler and drier than Tel Aviv or Cairo. Winters are surprisingly cold (5–10°C average, occasional snow) and bright. Summers are hot but dry (peak 32°C, low humidity). Spring (March–April) and autumn (September–October) are the postcard windows. Khamsin dust storms occasionally sweep in from the desert.
