anyone who has had experience living in Amman in particular.
I didn't live in Amman, but I stayed there for a few days. Compared to the rest of the Middle East, Amman (all of Jordan, really) is very easy for Westerners to adapt to.
A piece of advice I'd give is that even when it's very hot, it's still best to wear pants. Wearing shorts gets you some unwelcome looks from the natives, but they won't really say anything unless you're walking in front of a mosque. For some reason, they have a strange dislike of bare legs.
Amman has easy access internet and clean water. There are also plenty of Westerners so you won't feel totally out of place. Everyone I met was nice. Hope this helps.
