Amman, Jordan
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 business district - banks, corporate offices, international hotels like Hilton and Le Grand. Nothing much happens here culturally, but that's kind of the point. It's quiet and professional, well-connected to other neighborhoods, and feels very safe. Good base if you prioritize safety and convenience over being in the middle of things. Hotel restaurants and cafes nearby provide familiar chain comfort. Gets quiet at night in a peaceful way, not a sketchy way.

Areas with comparable safety profiles for solo female travelers
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.
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.
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.
