How do you travel around Jordan? Do you have to go by Sea or do you can travel by Air Jordan and hire a car and do you have to be a big Jordanian to drive in winter?
We do not have to travel to Jordan to have fun. You can easily get around by bike, scooter or taxi in the desert, as there are many shared-use routes. There are also many greenways that lead to nature reserves and nature preserves. Greenways are paths that are marked with stars or triangles, which indicate the way you are going. For those that do not know, a ‘greenway’ is a very winding and steep road with lots of trees and shrubs. The stars and triangles are there to let you know where you are going and where you are going to cut corners to get to the nature reserve you are trying to access.
How easy is it to get around in Jordan? On most days we would be able to walk or take a bus, but we would not recommend it as a city walk. The traffic is very light,our bus never arrived late and we were continuously stopped on our way to the Petra site by men in dark suits with guns. We did not know where we were going and walked on by in pursuit. Sometimes we would hear gunshots, other times we would not. We did not run from the scene and instead walked quietly along the side of a cliff overlooking the desert, taking in the sights. Sometimes we would see the Lebanese family walking in the opposite direction, the sound of their walking echoing through the desert as they opened fire on the cars ahead. Sometimes we would hear the sound of tear gas canisters exploding, other times we would not. We walked quietly, keeping to the side of the road, watching the fleeing traffic as it made sharp turns and turns.
