I've enjoyed reading about life in Amman. My husband, daughters (aged 4 and 8) may be moving there this summer and I had some questions. I was hoping someone could give me insight into what life is like in Amman. Is it truly safe? I've lived in Dubai, so I'm not scared of the Middle East, but I do want to be cautious. Also, can anyone tell me about schools in Amman? I'm American, but not necessarily set on an American school. I've checked into Modern American School and Modern Montessori. Any idea? Thanks!
