Amman, the capital, originated from the heart of Downtown and Amman's seven hills when Downtown was the main center of Amman and a junction for travel between different areas of Amman and its governorates. As Downtown gradually became crowded with residents, urban expansion moved increasingly westward and from North Amman toward its west until Western Amman became what it is today.

Is West Amman the most upscale area in Greater Amman Municipality?
Yes… it is.
Why is West Amman considered the most upscale in Greater Amman?
Because it hosts elite districts like Dabouq, Deir Ghbar, Abdoun, and Khalda.
Why are some areas like Jubaiha, Jabal Al-Hussein, and Shafa Badran considered part of West Amman?
Jabal Al-Hussein has a strategic location extending from East to the beginning of West Amman and shares borders with Shmeisani and Abdali, thus part of it falls under West Amman jurisdiction.
What is the average real estate price in West Amman?
Prices rise moving westward. Dabouq is the most expensive due to security clearance requirements near the Royal Court, followed by Deir Ghbar, Abdoun, Khalda, and Um Uthaina.
What distinguishes West Amman?
While every Amman region has its charm, West Amman shines with 5-star hotels, major malls like City Mall and Mecca Mall, royal landmarks, and embassies.
