Getting TO/AROUND: That’s probably the easiest way of transportation within the city. You can easily recognize them, these yellow cars are everywhere. Simply stand for a couple of minutes at the corner of a street and one of those will magically pop in… Small hint: if you are staying in an international hotel, they will charge you 5JD by default if you call them directly from the hotel. However if you walk a bit and call them from a nearby street, the price will vary between 1 and 3JD depending on the destination. Each time, you are also playing kind of a lottery as well. Either your driver will speak English fluently, either he does not! In the last case, beside the few Arabic words you can learn from any guide book, “diram” is quite a useful word (depending where you are staying). That means “circle”. In the eastern part of the city, this is an easy way to know where to go. Usually a roundabout, these circles represent indeed the successive limit of this growing city. I was staying at the 5th circle but there are now 7 or 8.

Getting TO/AROUND: Nothing special about the airport itself. since it is located outside the city, count 20-30 minutes by road to reach the center (depending where you stay). I don't know how to go from the airport to the city (a friend picked me up) but in the other direction, count between 15 and 25JD (depending how you negotiate) for a yellow taxi. You will most probably need a visa to enter Jordan but you can buy it directly (and very easily) from the airport for 10JD. They only accept cash (and Jordan Dinar) but you can change some JD directly at the airport ... When leaving, there is a "departure tax" as well, I think it was 7 JD

Getting TO/AROUND: For one day trip, Amman is pretty well located. During a weekend, I was willing to visit Jerash. One way of going there is to call a taxi. That’s what the concierge from the hotel suggested. Cost : 35JD + 7JD/hour. Another taxi driver proposed us the trip for 50JD… Now there is another alternative, take the bus!! This is quite an experience, even not every local inhabitants have already done it ;-) ...but for 0.5 JD we arrived at Jerash without any problem!!
