I used the driver Mohamaad for two days. He got me from the Eilat border to Wadi Rum and to Petra. But I believe he goes everywhere. His price was reasonable and his English was good.

We went to the dead sea with the bus and spend a great day on tourist beach.We then had then talked to some people there and they recommended to take a driver back to Amman.Around 10 min later Mr. Daher Aljaraat picked us up, he even bought us something to drink for the trip, was driving very safe and I remeber his price was reasonable!His Number: 0795636387

Hiring a Car

by Maria81

Jordan – at least for those used to the Western European transportation systems - is not blessed with excellent public transport. As such, and especially having decided to stay in an off-the-beaten track location and having little time, we have decided to hire a car. None of us being confident in our abilities to cope with the Middle Eastern traffic, we hired a driver as well, both from Omaish Rent a Car.Found them to be very reliable, car exactly as booked and in good condition, friendly and knowledgeable driver who did his best to assist us and went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed the stay. Can definitely say we have seen much more this way than we otherwise would have been able to see, whether by driving ourselves or by using public transport.

Flying to Jordan.

by cachaseiro

If you decide to fly in to Jordan then one of the better options is to fly the national Jordanian carrier "royal jordanian".It´s a good airline that serves quite a lot of destinations around the world.

Flights

by antistar

The national carrier for Jordan is Royal Jordanian Airways, which has an acceptable reputation, but it's no Qatar Airways. It bases itself out of Queen Alia airport, which is about 20km south of Amman. If you want to fly direct to Jordan, and don't live in one of the few countries whose national carriers fly direct to Amman, like Lufthansa, then you'll have to fly with Royal Jordanian. Or fly via another country. A number of people chose to fly via Cyprus, as it was a cheap transit airport.While the airport serves the capital city of Amman, there is another town nearby called Madaba, which is probably nicer, and just as convenient. It also has the benefit of having possibly Jordan's best hotel. Transport from the airport is either by bus or taxi. A bus runs between the airport and Amman every half hour from 06.00 and 23.00. Taxis charge about 10-12JD (approximately 13-15 euros) to either...

DALLAH RENT-A-CAR

by DAO

Want a reliable rental car with air conditioning? Don’t want to spend half the holiday budget paying for it? Use a local company with reliable cars, a good sized network and a super friendly attitude. Dallah Rent-A-Car were exceedingly helpful and a lot cheaper than the large multinational companies. They are located at several airports. I rented form their desk at the Crowne Plaza (Amra) in Amman. You can also book in advance via the internet. Outside of Amman, you only need a small car as traffic is very light. In Amman, you need a tank. They drive a bit crazy inside the city!

ROYAL JORDANIAN AIRLINES

by MiguelMV

Flight from Madrid to Amman was a pleasureThe aircraft was pretty new, comfortable and with a nice desing in light colours. Crew provided us with blankets and pillows. Catering was also very nice (something not very common in airplanes). Also, all seats have an entertainment screen where you can watch movies, listen to music, or play games, including multiplayer games with other passengers. The flight lasted 4:40 minutes. I really recommend taking a Royal Jordanian flight on your trip to Jordan

Have your passports ready

by Elisabcn

It is not a danger but an annoyance. Jordan is in the middle of a hot spot with some annoying neighbours around so when you cross the country by car from north to south you will find a lot of checkpoints. Soldiers are kind so be also kind, smile and have your documents ready to show them. There are no problems with tourists, its just an annoying procedure that will make you stop every half an hour.

Renting a car

by Elisabcn

Renting a car was a very good choice as there are some places (thinking for example about the Desert Castles) not accessible by public transport. You are also not depending of bus schedules and can reach easily off the beaten places, gaining a lot of time.Roads were good, especially the highways crossing the country from North to South, and tourist sites were well indicated in English. Only getting out of Amman was a little bit complicated but you should survive!It is not useful to write about 2006 renting prices now but I remember that the price was very convenient (we were three in the car).
