We find that the bus is the most common mode of transport in Jordan. You’ll usually find minibusses but it’s not uncommon to see the larger, air-conditioned coaches.

Bus schedules are posted around the cities but you can also ask the locals for help if you need it. 

The bus prices are also quite low, with a 30-minute trip between towns only costing around 1 JOD.

Renting a car, calling an Uber, or taking a domestic flight are some other options.

Arabic is the national language spoken in Jordan. It, along with the various dialects, is used in documents and media.

These dialects are urban, rural, and Bedouin Arabic. Each dialect corresponds to the area you’re residing in.

English is the second most spoken language in Jordan, so someone is bound to know what you’re saying if you need help.

It’s not uncommon to hear French being spoken in Jordan either.

We find that the weather in Jordan is closer to a Mediterranean climate than a desert one. It’s not as hot as Dubai but you can still expect relatively high temperatures during summer.

A Jordanian Winter has temperatures ranging between 48°F and 55°F (9°C and 13°C) in the city, and 66°F and 71°F (19°C and 22°C) in desert regions.

During summer, you can expect highs of 100°F (38°C) in the desert regions, with a high of 84°F (29°C) in the city.
