Dabouq is an upscale district in west Amman, surrounded by Al Kursi, Khalda, Al Fuhays and Bader Al Jadedeh. It is known for its villas and palaces, and King Abdullah II's private residence is nearby. Planning rules class it as a private residential zone where buildings are limited to two floors plus a roof, which keeps the number of homes low and the setting green and quiet.
Villas make up most of the housing, palaces reflect the presence of royals and public figures, and land plots appeal to buyers who want to build on larger sites. Prices are among the higher ones in Amman and tend to rise towards the centre of the district. Living here is reported to require security approval, which adds to its calm and privacy.
Roads are well developed, and City Mall, Mecca Mall, Galleria Mall and Amman Mall are close, along with many restaurants and international brand stores. Nearby landmarks and services include:
- The Children's Museum, the Royal Automobile Museum and Al Hussein Gardens
- King Hussein Mosque and the Columbia University Middle East Research Center
- Schools such as the International Academy, Amman National School and the Dabouq public schools
- Hussein Medical City, Queen Rania Al Abdullah Children's Hospital, Philadelphia Hospital and Al Isra Hospital
