Al Kursi lies in the Wadi Al Seer area of west Amman, west of Al Jandaweel and Al Bayader, between Dabouq and Bader Al Jadedeh. It sits on high ground, and its name refers to the way the land drops towards Wadi Al Seer in a shape likened to a chair.
Most buildings went up over the last few decades, so homes generally follow contemporary designs. Buyers and tenants will find apartments in a range of sizes for individuals and small families, and villas for larger households that want more space and privacy. Property prices here are described as relatively high.
The neighbourhood hosts the Al Hussein Business Complex, a base for international firms, large local companies and start-ups, and it borders the headquarters of the General Intelligence Department. These official sites bring a visible security presence, and the streets are quieter than central Amman.
Al Salam markets are on the doorstep, and Hussein Medical City, Al Hussein Gardens, City Mall, Mecca Mall, the University of Jordan and Amman Arab University are within easy reach. Main access is through Al Bayader, through Dabouq, or from the end of Mecca Street past Al Shaab roundabout.
