Self-Driving in Jordan

by schmechi

Renting a car in Amman is a good idea to discover whole Jordan. Jordan's streets are very good, they are signposted in Arab and English characters, so you should not have to many problems when navigating.Also the Jordans are very helpful drivers.Despite from that there are some things to remark: Don't rent a car with four-star petrol, I got really problems to find a petrol station providing premium outside of Amman.When I where in Jordan there were many roadworks, especially along the King's Highway. Unfortunately the signage and detours were not signposted in English letters too, so I had to ask local often, which was a special adventure on its own (look here).Remember that there are speed limits and the local police is very strict about them.The best and fastest way to go throw the country from North (Amman) to South (Aquaba) is the Desert Highway, but I recommend the more scenic...

Busing around

by freya_heaven

We used buses a few times to get around in Jordan. They were cheap & reliable. Actually one of my favourite memories of Jordan was on a bus, from Jarash in the north to Amman.We were sat at the back of the bus with all the other women & they were so friendly, talking to us, giving us sweets & even singing! It was wonderful to have rare contact with Arab women.

~Hitching Through The Hills~

by freya_heaven

We hitched most of our time around Jordan, not recommended in most countries, but there were 2 of us, we chose carefully & met some lovely people along the way. Definately wouldnt recommend it to single women.The photo is someone who gave us a lift & dropped us off at the village of Thanna. It was amazing inside, more time had been taken to decorate it than the Cistine chapel (~_~) !

Camels

by MalenaN

Camels are not very much used by the beduines today but in Wadi Rum you can go on a camel trek. I had heard a lot before coming hear that it was a very nice experiense but your budy would be in a lot of pain after (but people I met in Wadi Rum said there were no problems). I skipped the camel this time but if I will make another trip to Wadi Rum I will defenitly go on a camel trek.

Taxi

by cicogatto

The best way to travel in Jordan is the taxi. Before leaving you fix the destinations and the prices. The taxi driver will bring you every places you want to see and wait hours for you. All of them are very-very kind and speak english well. Chaffering is compulsory!

To Jordan

by dr.firas

The Bus from Syria to Jordan is better than a plane!The problem is that between the 2 borders you could loose some hours!But it is Ok!And a ticket like this from Aleppo to Amman will coast about 8$

Taxis

by dr.firas

Well the good thing in a taxi is that it will lead you fast to any point you wish!but be careful there is always an apparatus to show how much you have to pay!and it is about 2-3 Dinars in general from any long distance.

Allia - Royal Jordanian Airlines

by herzog63

I flew on Allia as it was the second cheapest ticket that I could find. I don't remember what I paid though. I liked the idea of having a 24 hour stopover in Amman as the hotel was 30 KM from the airport so I figured I'd get to see some of the countryside and maybe a little bit of the city. On the way back to the airport the bus driver took some detours so he could show us some of the city. The Airline itself seemed ok. But there were a couple of weird things that I noticed. I had asked for a seat in the no smoking section and I think I was the only person on the plane that didn't smoke! Including the No Smoking section! The other thing was when it was time to land the Fasten Your Seat Belt sign would come on but I estimate that at least half the people on the plane were standing all the way through the landing!! I had never seen that before! I didn't matter to me but it just seemed...

Rent a car with a driver

by allouc

During our last stay we rented a car and driver for USD 55 plus gas. It was a great deal as the driver was very professional, did exactly what we wanted and when he suggested something it was because he believed it was a good thing for us to do. The rental was for 8 hours a day and they did not charge us for extra time.The company was Royal Tours (part of state owned Royal Jordanian) and we also got a free upgrade to a stretch Mercedes limo...

Transportation in Petra

by MalenaN

Most people stay in Wadi Mousa when visiting Petra. It is walkingdistance between the two but as the road down to Petra is steep and you probably will do a lot of walking in Petra it is good to take a taxi to the entrance of Petra. Most hotels offers the taxi ride for free.When in Petra there are several ways to go around if you don't want to walk. From the entrance there are horse-drawn cabs going through the siq to the Treasury (Al-Khazneh). From the treasury to the theatre or "city centre" you can ride a camel. Up to the Monestary you can rid a donkey. It doesn't look convenient neither for the man or donke though.
