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.
