Amman, Jordan
Modern shopping area with malls and chain restaurants. Safe and convenient but lacks cultural interest. Good if you want familiar, suburban comfort over historic neighborhoods or tourist scenes.
Shopping district with malls like Sweifieh Village, chain restaurants, and cafes. Between the 6th and 7th Circles. Middle-class families, young professionals, and expats come here for convenience. More suburban and residential than touristy - you'll see how regular Ammani families live rather than the tourist or old-city version of Amman. Streets are well-lit, mix of local and Western places. Blue Fig has a location here. Feels safe and familiar, just not very exciting. Good base if you prefer a suburban vibe over being in the tourist center.

Areas with comparable safety profiles for solo female travelers
The upscale nightlife area with Western-style bars and restaurants. Feels safest for going out at night but costs more and some clubs won't let you in alone on weekends. Good if you want familiar, secure atmosphere over authentic local experience.
Business district with international hotels. Safe, quiet, boring. Good if you want a calm base and don't care about being near nightlife or cultural sites. Easy to Uber to other areas from here.
The arts district with galleries, cafes, and tree-lined streets. Quieter and more local than the tourist areas, but still welcoming to outsiders. Good if you like art and want something less touristy than Rainbow Street.
