[1][2] The character of the neighborhood has been summarized as "an eclectic mix of haphazardly connected memories and intentions, somehow combining the grandeur of the Roman Amphitheatre to the bustling local markets and the newly imagined cultural projects and institutions.

Ras al-Ein is a sub-district of the larger Qasabah Amman area, which includes Al-Abdali, Al-Madinah, Al-Yarmuk, Bader, and Zahran.

[8] The neighborhood is intended for inclusion in the Bus Rapid Transit project, construction for which is ongoing today and will eventually connect Ras Al Ein's northern streets with 5th Circle and Sports City via Princess Basma Street.

[9] The Ras Al Ein Park, located at the northernmost boundary of the area between Ali Ben Abi Taleb and Omar Matar streets, was first opened in February 2017.

In 2014 it moved from its previous location in al-Abdali to Ras al Ein, a decision said to be sparked by the city's desire to alleviate congestion in the Abdali neighborhood.
