Travelling to Jordan by Train (Hejaz Railway)

by Janani

I travelled to Jordan on the train from Damascus in Syria, having completed the journey the other way a week previously. It took a lot longer than the bus or service taxi (starting at eight in the morning and arriving about 5.30 in the evening) but was an unforgettable experience, due to the friendliness of fellow passengers and the train staff and the fascinating history of the railway (the carriages currently in use date from 1926 and were Turkish made although the diesel engines are fairly modern.) A first class ticket cost only 150 Syrian pounds.Border formalities are completed at Deraa in Syria (before the Syrian train returns to Damascus and passengers transfer to the Jordanian train to continue their journey) and Mafraq in Jordan. Customs checks are carried out on the train between them.There is no food to purchase on either train; most people brought food along with them and...

Traveling from city to city

by tampa_shawn

There are several ways to get around Jordan1) Shuttle service between towns In most towns you can take a taxi to a local shuttle area. In these areas long distance owner-owned taxi’s are waiting. They leave once all the seats are taken so if your the first one in a car you may have to wait awhile.Negotiate the price before getting in the car or handing over your bags. I normally looked for foreign drivers that way I had a chance of getting someone who didn’t chain smoke the entire trip. Since I was a female traveling alone I also ALWAYs chose cars with other foreign females or approached other females as they came by to ensure they were in my car...safety in numbers. 2) Take local busses or tourist buses Local busses were cheap and fairly easy to use. Be sure you are paying the correct person. I knew several people who gave their money to pretend money collectors and had to pay twice...

New Train Between Wadi Rum and Aqaba

by Janani

Whilst at the station in Amman, waiting for the train to Damascus to depart, the stationmaster showed me a beautifully restored steam engine and some smart, traditional style carriages, which, he explained, would shortly be running a regular service between Wadi Rum and Aqaba (a 20-kilometre, two-and-a-half hour trip) along a line forming part of the Hejaz Railway, which is currently in use by goods trains only.The stations are being upgraded too and should be completed early next year. The website given here has a news article about the train. You will need to look it up under the date June 28 2005

Travelling between Israel/Palestine and Jordan

by travellingdan

If you want to travel between Israel/Palestine and Jordan and you don't want to fly between the two international airports Ben Gurion in Tel Aviv and the one in Amman, you can go by bus and taxi. Then you have the choice between three different border crossings: - The one in the north, which is called Sheikh Hussein (in Jordan) / Jordan River crossing (in Israel), - the one in the middle, which is the famous King Hussein / Allenby Bridge crossing or - the one in the south which is called Arabah / Arava border crossing. The Allenby crossing seems to be the most convenient on the first look because it is more or less on the direct line Tel Aviv - Jerusalem - Amman. But watch out: It is therefore the most crowded crossing and if you are not going there pretty early you will take the risk of not beeing able to cross before they close the crossing (yes, they have opening hours). And for...

Buses & Service Taxis...

by coceng

Buses & service taxis are the best way to move around.Make sure you know the price that you have to pay to your destination & please bring small change !If not, you are likely to be ripped off by the conductor !Although I have to mention that most service taxis will only move when there are enough passengers...This could somewhat delay your plan maybe.

Crossing the border at Arava

by blanter

From Eilat, take a taxi or walk (about an hour from the bus station - first direction Beer-Sheva, then follow the signs). The crossing is open on workdays between 06:30 and 22:00, on Friday and Saturday the hours are shorter. Israeli exit tax is NIS 68, Jordanian one is JD5. Jordanians issue a free single-entry visa at the boder, valid for 2 weeks, to many nationalities, including Russians. At the crossing, there are money change offices (from both sides), but try to change as little as you can - the rate is very bad. From Jordanian side, the only way to get to the country is to take a taxi - 4JD to Aqaba, considerably more to Petra. Walking is prohibited since this is a military area.

Taxi for King's Highway between Petra & Amman

by mariebcollins

Mohammed, who is the bus driver's helper between Wadi Rum and Wadi Mousa, set this up for us. It cost 75JD via Wadi Mujib and Madaba - it would have been 60JD without Madaba but including the Dead Sea. Here were our stops:Shawbak castle - 2JD for guide - nice place.Dana - OKKarak castle - 1JD - cool castleWadi Mujib - OKMount Nebo - OKMadaba - 1JD - Good.Abdullah was our very entertaining driver - he could go on and on in English but didn't understand much you said to him ! It was a pretty good day but most of the good scenery is before Karak.

Official taxi fares from Amman Airport

by TheWanderingCamel

South Amman = 14North Amman, Madaba, and Nebo = 16Alruseifa and surrounding = 19Alsalt and surrounding, and Alzarqa = 22Dead Sea, King Hussein Bridge, baptism site, Ma'in springs = 26Jerash, Alghor Al Aust = 27Ajloun, Alazraq, Irbid, and desert castles = 32Wadi Mousa and Petra = 59Aqaba = 90These prices in all cases are noticeably more expensive than if you take a taxi TO Amman airport. To be fair, the taxis at the airport pay a large fee for the right to operate there.Previously, one had to rely on bargaining, now these prices have been fixed and are not unfair.Posted by Lulu

Taxi

by Amisha074

Taxis are pretty expensive here. For long distance trips call Abu Rami at 00962 77 416772 or 00962 79 5439075. He's an honest fellow and by far the most entertaining cab driver I've ever met. He has a good selection of Arabic tapes and dances along as he drives.
