Useful information for tourists
Traveling between cities is possible here only on private special buses. Within the cities there is public transport (buses, minibuses or service cars for 5-7 seats), but more orderly traffic is observed mainly in the capital. It is worthwhile to think over the route of travel along the streets of cities in advance due to the extremely confusing navigation, ubiquitous signs in Arabic and local residents who do not always even speak English. But you don't have to worry about hotels and inns. The country has not only a wide choice of conditions for temporary residence, but also polite English-speaking staff, and in some hotels they can speak Russian. The monetary unit here is Dinar, you can pay only with it, so it is worth exchanging currencies, for example, at the airport or special points. In Jordan, guests often buy bottles of sand from the city of Petra, various souvenirs from olive trees, jewelry or copper utensils.
