• Rental Car
• Many people explore Jordan by renting a car. In general the roads are good and not too busy so Jordan is not a difficult country to drive in. Amman is more difficult to navigate & there is more traffic but the rest of the country the roads are simple and the important signs are in Arabic and English. This is probably the most flexible way to explore as the buses can be restrictive in their route and timings, and taking taxis can add up and involve some hassle.
• Also some sites in Jordan (Dana, Dead Sea, Wadi Mujib, Desert Castles) can only be reached by rental car or using a taxi/ private driver.
• Arriving at the Wadi Rum visitor centre you must pay 5JD to enter, or alternatively the entrance fee for Wadi Rum is included in the Jordan Pass.
