Public transport is inexpensive in Jordan – you will pay 4 JOD to get from Aqaba to Amman or 3 JOD for the ride from Petra to the capital. Those traveling in group could consider car rental (call Jamal Suradi 079 5597149 for car with the driver).
Amman is located on the hills. In Greco-Roman times, Amman was known as Philadelphia. Huge Roman Theatre is the main tourist attraction of the city. I was wandering also around colorful bazaar streets nearby… There are traditional coffee shops and tiny artisans’ workshops to visit…
I stay in Sun Rise Hotel at Abdali Bus Stop on King Hussein Street. The manager – Mr Jaber Hamdan is very helpful – he can organize also inexpensive tours around Jordan. You can negociate the price for the room (from 10 JOD – the capital costs more!). Evenings are cold… It is already 13th of December – time to come back home…
